Picumã (Sladká Meduza) is an urban western that follows Lua and Shaiene in their search for their friend Cleo, who has mysteriously disappeared. Working Class (Nadir Sönmez), a fictional manifesto, mocks the fetishization and romanticization of “the working class.” XPOSED Audience Award winner Thunder Bird (Anonymous) combines archival footage with recent interviews to tell the story of a dance troupe that withstood military rule and stigmatization in Myanmar. XPOSED Lolly Award winner How A River Is Born (Luma Flôres) unfolds in a beautiful mountainous landscape, where Ayla embarks on a journey of discovery and liberation. A is for Andra (Charmaine Poh) follows a former MTV VJ, tracing their evolution from a rising star in Bandung to a non-binary transmasculine kindergarten teacher living in Berlin. In Taxi Moto (Gaël Kamilindi), a director, prevented from making his film, reinvents his story elsewhere, crafting a passionate and poetic act of resistance that ignites the audience’s imagination.
