CREATIVE SHORT

Amara Abbas directs ‘Impulse’.

A meditation on faith and memory, capturing the quiet intimacy of spiritual devotion filmed in Pakistan. Rather than defining faith, the film evokes its essence, a surrender to something greater.

MUSIC VIDEO

Théo Gottlieb directs ‘Horses’ for Meryem Aboulouafa.

A world where emotion, instinct, and tradition coexist.

FILM TRAILER

Julia Ducournau directs ‘Alpha’.

Alpha, 13, is a troubled teenager who lives alone with her mother. Their world comes crashing down the day she comes home from school with a tattoo on her arm.
