Screening | Ecuadorian LGBTQ+ Film Fest: Short & Mid-Length Works
This festival aims to recognize the accomplishments of Ecuadorian queer filmmaking by featuring a line-up of short and medium-length films covering variety of genres such as documentary, narrative and experimental films. As in much of Latin America, queer visibility in cinema in Ecuador was mostly negligible during the 20th century. As the new century rolled in, a small but growing number of Ecuadorian filmmakers began weaving in stories where queer characters were the main focus. Often self-financed on micro-budgets under the sphere of stigma, the emergence of queer cinema in Ecuador became a transgressive cry for visibility as much as an artistic expression.

Screening | Leila and the Wolves (1984): Levantine Hybrid Cinematic Essay (+ Discussion)
"This film is based on actual events which are part of the collective memory of the Lebanese and Palestinian people." So begins Leila and the Wolves, Lebanese filmmaker Heiny Srour's only narrative feature--a bold, lyrical homage to the often-erased legacy of Arab women in the liberation struggle. At its center is Leila, a Lebanese woman living in London, who uncovers the overlooked contributions of women--fighters, nurturers, strategists--to the broader revolutionary movement. Drawing on the Arab heritage of oral tradition and mosaic pattern, Leila and the Wolves blends reenactment, archival footage, folklore in a visually and narratively hybrid cinematic essay and feminist counter narrative. It was banned in the Arab World for 45 years--and still is in many Arab countries. The film has been rarely shown and was restored in 2024. Director: Heiny Srour In Arabic with English subtitles. Screening followed by a Q&A with the director Heiny Srour and Professor of French and Comparative Literature at Columbia Madeleine Dobie.

Screening | Artists & Filmmakers Explore Love, Place, Memory, & Possibility
Bonding Humanity: Assemblies in Motion is a curated screening program bringing together artists and filmmakers who explore the fragile and shifting ties that shape how we live together -- in public and private, in memory and in movement. Inspired by the poetic, fragmented language of the essay film -- and its ability to hold both intimate reflections and structural critique -- the program imagines cinema as a gathering ground: a space where personal archives, fictional gestures, political ghosts, and speculative futures co-inhabit. These films stretch across disciplines and approaches, yet share a commitment to the aesthetic and ethical practices of bonding -- across silences, distances, ruptures, and shifting perceptions of time. The program features multigenerational voices in filmmaking, each engaging with what it means to hold onto love, place, memory, and possibility.
