It’s said that as one door closes, another opens. These films capture those moments when the future calls to us. Some opportunities are meant to be seized, pointing us towards a brighter, more hopeful path. Others demand caution, their destinations uncertain. Much like our dreams, every new chapter reveals buried parts of ourselves and shapes us into the people we become. There will be a Q&A with the filmmakers at this event.
