Freediving tests the limits of human potential. For Rebecca Illing, this breathless “meditation with consequences takes her to unspeakable depths, where she finds absolute peace of mind at the bottom of the sea.
Her story challenges us to question our own addictions, big and small, and inspires us to find our own path to self love.
Steven Riggs has always lived in poverty, and when he ended up in prison, he lost everything. Now Steven sells magazines for Streetwise, a nonprofit dedicated to helping impoverished people earn their own money.
Sister Rachel Denton has vowed to spend the rest of her life living as a consecrated hermit in the Catholic faith. A hermit is a person who chooses to live alone, with the intention of finding God. Rarely leaving her house, she lives a life of prayer and solitude. However, she uses the internet and social media to share her experience and distance herself from physically interacting with society.
A personal glimpse into Madrid, an experimental urban cityscape, an ode to life through a dance.
Played at the November 2016 Film Festival

OH MY OH AGAMI played to raves reviews from the audience at the January 2016 Film Festival.
Watch the Audience FEEDBACK Video:
OH MY OH AGAMI, 4min, Egypt, Documentary/Poetry
Directed by Hani R. Eskander
A visual poem depicting a life of an Agami resident who reminisces his childhood amidst the ongoing destruction and illegal construction.
Written and delivered by Mohamed El Tayef
Music score and SFX by Ali Sedky
Subtitles: Dahlia Sabbour
Shot, edited and directed by Hani R. Eskander
Director’s Statement:
The sporadic accelerated of random vertical expansion in Agami is a microcosm of what’s happening in Egypt. We cannot keep at this consistent and persistent trail of destruction and tasteless development and construction without having proper vision that translates to sustainable design, and this all cannot see the light of day without adequate implementation of law applied equally and fairly on all… This video is a cry for help from those in positions of authority or power to see the human side of the story that is generally disregarded in the bigger scheme of things. Mohamed Tayef, is a poet who has spent all his childhood in Agami, a coastal town near the city of Alexandria, and still lives there. A banter between the shocking present and the nostalgic past leaves us with a sense of shame and really spearheads the emotional and human aspect being destructed and withered away.
