A devastating coming-of-age story. The ending is one of the most shocking and truthful I’ve seen to date. Catherine Breillat’s editor, Pascale Chavance, approaches the ending of this film in an incredible way, worth finding the BTS on this.

Seidl’s collaboration with Ed Lachman is a masterclass in exploring the human condition, an unflinching lens, but oddly tender.

A timeless film that looks at love and prejudice. A taboo subject at the time, it turns into something incredibly moving.

An essential documentary. Heartbreaking. It’s impossible to watch and not feel the weight of Palestine’s reality.

A music video that showed me you could merge documentary and music in a way that feels experimental.

An important meditation on life and death for anyone’s viewing list. It’s a film and a Director that genuinely changed how I look at film. Highly recommend delving into “Lessons with Kiarostami.”

A hidden gem of a doc. It’s a raw, poetic and heartbreaking portrait of American hobos. I was shown this while taking my own road trips across the States, and I keep coming back to it.

The most powerful film I’ve seen about the creative process. It hit me so hard I watched it three times back-to-back, the only time I’ve ever done that.

One of my favourite and most inventive Irish films. An adaptation, it manages to capture the spirit of Irish theatre and literature in a way that we don’t see enough of today.
