Square the Circle
Hanna Hovitie's Square the Circle is a little circular film about one person’s round trip out to the (un)known universe and into themselves, in search of a sense of belonging. To “square the circle” is an attempt to do the impossible: look into infinity, accept the perpetual passing of time, survive a long dark winter in the Northern Hemisphere or find one’s own place when you don't quite fit in. To be a circle in a world of squares. It's a delightful palette cleanser that poses several thought provoking questions.
The Jungle People
The Jungle People is a vital, politically charged examination of the Anti-British National Liberation War and the impact that it had on the family of one of the jungle people (a Communist guerrilla fighter). This narrative feature is dedicated to drawing out this family's fragmented memories and presenting them to a diverse audience in an accessible manner. This is a story with universal themes that will enable people of all races and creeds to feel compassion for this embattled family.
