The program begins with Warm Shadows, where one feels an interlude of silence, longing and separation between a mother and a son in a Punjabi household. It continues with Thunder Bird, a documentary about a Burmese transgender leader and her traveling theater troupe, followed by Lespri, a grieving reflection on the filmmaker\u2019s Black father. The next film turns to Tunisia, where the director attempts to reconnect with tradition through reenactments and family archives, later glitched and questioned in their portrayal of gender norms and naming in As Told by a Corpse. The journey continues through essayistic reflections and performative interventions on archival footage from Egypt and the filmmaker\u2019s childhood. Like cruising along the Nile, time becomes non linear, yet the desire to return home remains persistent in Until We Return. The program reaches its final station with Dancing Fireflies, where Black Colombian queer friends imagine departure into the cosmos. Here they confront a final question: what if utopia exists somewhere else? To find joy, must one depart? And if so, is it ever truly possible to leave? The films leave us with these questions, suspended between memory, belonging, and the dream of another world.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-17da73e\" data-id=\"17da73e\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-85b40c6 e-grid e-con-full qodef-elementor-content-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"85b40c6\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-474fb02 e-con-full e-flex qodef-elementor-content-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"474fb02\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f13351d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f13351d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Babylon Kreuzberg<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-10c872f elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"10c872f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>29.05.2026 &#8211;

Standing at the shoreline at dusk, she faces an expanse she has never allowed herself to imagine. Across the world, Raag, in his twenties, rides through the outskirts of Busan in a taxi, suspended between movement and return. A fragmented voice-over binds them, revealing a relationship shaped by silence, care, and unspoken truths.<\/p><p>Raag asks Priya why she allowed her in-laws to change her name. She answers simply: there was never much of a choice. In memories that surface and recede, Raag photographs Priya as she washes clothes. On a rooftop where laundry dries in the wind, a hesitant confrontation unfolds about Raag\u2019s sexuality. He withdraws, avoids her gaze, and in that moment, they unknowingly come out to each other. Only later does Raag understand that Priya, too, was revealing herself.<\/p><p>As Priya steps into the sea, allowing the waves to consume her, Raag arrives home and reflects on the image of his mother\u2019s happy marriage, an inheritance of love that is both sustaining and incomplete. Across distance and time, mother and son share an intimacy born not of declarations, but of what is finally allowed to be felt.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-08e50e0 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"08e50e0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-64ce702 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"64ce702\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Director: Anonymous<br \/>Writer: Anonymous<br \/>Country: Myanmar, 2025<br \/>Language: Burmese Language<br \/>Subtitle: English<br \/>Duration:\u00a0 16:23 min<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b516893 e-flex e-con-boxed qodef-elementor-content-no e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"b516893\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-61c932e elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"61c932e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7fb3c41 e-flex e-con-boxed qodef-elementor-content-no e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"7fb3c41\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-efa0a3a e-con-full e-flex qodef-elementor-content-no e-con e-child\" data-id=\"efa0a3a\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;slideshow&quot;,&quot;background_slideshow_gallery&quot;:[],&quot;background_slideshow_loop&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;background_slideshow_slide_duration&quot;:5000,&quot;background_slideshow_slide_transition&quot;:&quot;fade&quot;,&quot;background_slideshow_transition_duration&quot;:500}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d469f47 film-poster-container elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"d469f47\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1333\" height=\"1546\" data-src=\"https:\/\/xposedfilmfestival.com\/2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Poster_TB_01_Updated250825-Yadanar-e1776802803618.webp\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-12356 lazyload\" alt=\"\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/xposedfilmfestival.com\/2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Poster_TB_01_Updated250825-Yadanar-e1776802803618.webp 1333w, https:\/\/xposedfilmfestival.com\/2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Poster_TB_01_Updated250825-Yadanar-e1776802803618-259x300.webp 259w, https:\/\/xposedfilmfestival.com\/2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Poster_TB_01_Updated250825-Yadanar-e1776802803618-883x1024.webp 883w, https:\/\/xposedfilmfestival.com\/2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Poster_TB_01_Updated250825-Yadanar-e1776802803618-768x891.webp 768w, https:\/\/xposedfilmfestival.com\/2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Poster_TB_01_Updated250825-Yadanar-e1776802803618-1324x1536.webp 1324w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1333px) 100vw, 1333px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1333px;
