Three intimate documentaries about memory, family and the things that can be difficult to put into words. Stories emerge through absence, recollection and conversation, asking what survives when the past cannot be neatly resolved.
When You Were Young Were You Afraid of The Moon? — Nawal moved to Berlin from Palestine to build a life away from occupation, leaving behind her mother Neta, an Israeli activist in the West Bank — a meditation on inheritance at a moment of turmoil.
Runtime: 22 Minutes
Director: Phoebe Cottam
A Story Left Behind — A researcher discovers the fragmented story of the first Somali woman to migrate to Sheffield, and goes on a journey to fill in the gaps.
Runtime: 14 Minutes

Beyond Words — The Genetic Choir Ensemble visits nursing homes, connecting with residents living with dementia through improvised sound and touch — what singing can do when other communication is lost.
Runtime: 19 Minutes
Director: Kim Brand
