A FILM BY LUCY LAWLESS
CNN combat camerawoman Margaret Moth walks the razor's edge between sanity and chaos. Her mystery and beauty bewitches lovers and her confidence intimidates powerful men. Moth stares down danger and she confronts those that perpetuate it. In vivid, emotional dioramas, we see what Moth and her camera crew felt; the nightmare dreamscapes of war. In footage - both what she shot, the production shot, and others - we go on a rollicking ride through love, truth and war. Early on in her career she covers conflicts in the Middle East before fatally, she is sent to Sarajevo to cover the Bosnian war.

A FILM BY STEVE MCQUEEN
The past collides with our precarious present in Steve McQueen’s bravura documentary Occupied City, informed by the book Atlas of an Occupied City (Amsterdam 1940-1945) written by Bianca Stigter. McQueen creates two interlocking portraits: a door-to-door excavation of the Nazi occupation that still haunts his adopted city, and a vivid journey through the last years of pandemic and protest. What emerges is both devastating and life-affirming, an expansive meditation on memory, time, and where we’re headed.

A cinematic journey into the mind of Eileen Gray. The Irish designer builds a refuge on the Côte d'Azur in 1929. Her first house is a discrete, avant-garde masterpiece.

He covers the walls with murals and publishes photos of them. Gray describes these paintings as vandalism and demands restitution. He ignores her wishes and instead builds his famous Cabanon directly behind E.1027, which dominates the narrative of the site to this day.
