Three atheists walk the Camino De Santiago in Spain, putting their friendship and good humour to the test. A first-person documentary account of spirituality, culture, and the physical toil of an 800 km walk on the world's most famous pilgrimage.

Preface to a History poster
NR

A couple, Vlad and Sophy, navigate their relationship as well as their own struggles with mental health in the context of a highly connected, politically uncertain modern world while on a trip to a remote Canadian island in this avant-garde feature film. PREFACE TO A HISTORY, created with a tiny crew of four people, represents an experiment in using minimalist tools to create an overwhelming aesthetic experience in service of a simple, but specifically contemporary, story about two people attempting to navigate a fraying relationship amid all the anxieties and external pressures of modern adulthood in a technologically-interconnected and politically unstable era.

A character study of a reclusive, self-fulfilling young graduate student who has fallen into a pattern of disassociation and chronic masturbation. During the course of his routines this student begins to encounter a woman who resembles a familiar figure from an online adult video. Initially shocked by this revelation, he becomes transfixed by the potential implications.

The Martyr poster
NR

A long night on a film set gets longer, as an intensely committed but emotionally unstable independent director races the clock to find the perfect performance for a crucial scene. As Milton Tibbons demands take after take, his cast and crew begin to lose their patience with their director's outbursts, until the director makes an emotional disclosure that pushes his set to the point of boiling over
