The Illusion of an Everlasting Summer

Dir. Alessandra Sanguinetti, 2026

What does a twenty-five year friendship look like? This film compresses time to reveal its patterns. Guilermina and Bellinda are two cousins growing up in the rural Argentine Pampas. At first, the camera opens a space for their games and fantasies; later, it follows their journeys from girlhood to womanhood. What emerges is a tender portrait exploring the relationship between time and human connection.

Boatbuilders

Dir. Luke Lorentzen, 2026

Across four seasons, the skilled craftspeople of Maine’s Brooklin Boat Yard meticulously transform planks of Douglas fir, mahogany, and cedar into a 56-foot wooden sailboat—both a fading, time-honored tradition and a delicate business to manage. Sundance award-winning director Luke Lorentzen mirrors their patience, presence, and attention to detail in a reflection on the pride and value of labor that culminates in a breathtaking maiden voyage.

Revolutionaries Never Die

Dir. Mohanad Yaqubi, 2026

Ten years ago, prolific Lebanese documentary filmmaker Jocelyne Saab emailed director Mohanad Yaqubi suggesting a collaboration. He never responded. Jocelyne passed away, and her films were finally archived. In this documentary letter, Mohanad writes back. Via her images and his words, he poses pressing questions, filmmaker to filmmaker, as he confronts the haunting repetition between her images and those emerging today from Palestine and Lebanon.
