**Some films in this program include some disturbing and mature content and may not be suitable for very young children** Listed in the order they will be presented: BUTTERFLY - Florence Miailhe, 15 min., France. In the sea, a man swims. As he does, memories come to the surface. From his early childhood to his life as a man, all his memories are linked to water. Some are happy, some glorious, some traumatic. This story will be that of his last swim. It will take us from the source to the river - from the waters of childhood pools to those of swimming pools - from a North African country to the shores of the Mediterranean - from Olympic stadiums to water retention basins - from concentration camps to the dream beaches of Reunion. ÉIRU - Giovanna Ferrari, 13 min., Ireland. When the water mysteriously disappears from the well in a warrior clan’s village, an intrepid child descends into the belly of the earth to retrieve it. Éiru is the story of a child in search of a challenge, and a goddess in search of a champion. FOREVERGREEN - Nathan Engelhardt and Jeremy Spears, 13 min., United States. A joyful adventure featuring an orphaned bear cub and a fatherly tree turns serious when the cub is tempted by the allure of easy food. Fire and deadly danger ensue as the cub is left bereft of hope and on the verge of a ruinous end, until the sacrificial love of the tree falls into place. THE GIRL WHO CRIED PEARLS - Chris Lavis and Maciek Szczerbowski, 17 mins., Canada. In Montreal, at the dawn of the 20th century, a poor boy falls in love with a girl whose sorrow turns into pearls. He sells them to a ruthless pawnbroker, who hungers for more. Tempted by greed, the boy must choose between love and fortune. The choice could damn his soul. From the Oscar-nominated team of Chris Lavis and Maciek Szczerbowski (Madame Tutli-Putli), this meticulously crafted film is a testament to the magic of stop-motion animation. With handmade puppets, mesmerizing narration by Colm Feore and a haunting score by Patrick Watson, The Girl Who Cried Pearls is a timeless parable of desire, deception and the price of innocence. RETIREMENT PLAN - John Kelly, 7 min., Ireland. Ray (Domhnall Gleeson) lays out a beautiful life for himself in his retirement plan. He will pursue his curiosities, challenge his limiting beliefs, embrace fear, beauty, even the complexities of wine culture. Ray will check off every box on every list for every interest he ever even half-thought about. He will discover what he loves (Italian red wine), what he hates (camping). He will grow and learn and change rapidly. It’s beautiful and it’s messy and achingly relatable. But Ray is forgetting something. The one thing he treats as flippantly disposable will be the single most rapidly depleting resource of his future self. His healthy-ish, agile enough 40-something-year-old body. Also, actual retirement time is not endless, but guaranteed to be finite THE THREE SISTERS - Konstantin Bronzit, 14 min., Israel/Cyprus. Three sisters live a lonely life on an isolated island, each in their own small house. One day, circumstances develop in such a way that they are forced to rent out one of the houses.

All the Empty Rooms follows veteran CBS News correspondent Steve Hartman and photographer Lou Bopp as they embark on a seven-year-long project to document the empty bedrooms of children killed in school shootings. Hartman steps away from his heartwarming human interest stories and unbeknownst to his network’s bosses, pursues a piece on absence, memory, and the unseen ripples of America's gun violence epidemic. As these senseless incidents claim more young lives than any other cause in America, these quiet bedrooms reveal truths more powerful than statistics ever could. ARMED ONLY WITH A CAMERA: THE LIFE AND DEATH OF BRENT RENAUD - Craig Renaud and Brent Renaud, 38 min., United States.

As journalism becomes one of the most dangerous professions in the world, Armed Only With a Camera: The Life and Death of Brent Renaud is dedicated to Brent and all the devoted journalists who use their cameras to work for truth and understanding. CHILDREN NO MORE: "WERE AND ARE GONE" - Hilla Medalia, 36 min. Israel. Children No More: “Were and are Gone” is an observational documentary short about a vigil that began in March 2025, when a handful of women stood silently in a public square in Tel Aviv, each holding a photograph of a child killed in Gaza. On every image: the child’s name, age, date of death, and the words “WAS AND IS NO MORE.” Their stillness is heavy, pressing against the rhythm of ordinary life.

And each week, more people step forward to join this quiet act of protest. THE DEVIL IS BUSY - Christalyn Hampton and Geeta Gandbhir, 31 min., United States.

This inaugural program features two powerful films—Porcelain War and Prime Minister—curated by Annie Roney, founder and CEO of ROCO Films. Together, these documentaries embody 836M’s 2026 Metamorphosis theme, celebrating resilience, transformation, and the extraordinary ways humans adapt in pursuit of a better world.
A Body to Live In opens with a striking image: a young Fakir Musafar with a leather belt cinched around his waist — an early act of experimentation that sparked his lifelong exploration of expression, resistance, and ritual. A pioneer of the “Modern Primitives” movement, Musafar redefined body modification as a radical form of self-determination. Practices like piercing, branding, corseting, and suspension became powerful expressions of authenticity and defiance, influencing generations of queer BDSM and performance art communities. Directed by longtime friend and Festival favorite Angelo Madsen (North by Current, Frameline45), the film weaves together archival material, audio recordings of Musafar himself, and reflections from figures like Annie Sprinkle, Ron Athey, Midori, and Cléo Dubois. A Body to Live In refuses to flinch, confronting issues such as cultural appropriation and the impact of the AIDS crisis without offering easy resolutions. The result is a raw examination of Musafar’s work — its contradictions, beauty, and enduring relevance. This isn’t a traditional biography. It’s an investigation into how the body can serve as both a canvas for transformation and a powerful declaration of autonomy.
Middle-aged and erratic, Oscar is a failed writer who has given up on life. Unemployed and living with family, he wanders the streets of Medellín in a drunken stupor, lamenting the state of literature in his home country, where he has succumbed to the cliché of the tortured artist. However, the opportunity to mentor a young student offers a chance at redemption, if he doesn’t screw it up first. In a performance marked by darkly comic pathos, first-time actor Ubeimar Rios stars in Simón Mesa Soto’s Un Certain Regard Jury Prize-winner A Poet, a raw and riotous farce about how good deeds are often met with the universe’s idea of cruel and unusually poetic punishment.

Adapted from Sunil Gangopadhyay’s celebrated 1968 novel, Days and Nights in the Forest is one of director Satyajit Ray’s greatest achievements, a modern search for connection that conjures the timeless resonance of a folktale. Desperate to flee Calcutta’s rat race, four friends—Ashim (Soumitra Chatterjee), Sanjoy (Subhendu Chatterjee), Hari (Samit Bhanja), and Shekhar (Rabi Ghosh)—drive to Palamu, one of India’s rural “tribal lands,” where they bribe a watchman into letting them stay at a sylvan guesthouse. Despite vowing to get away from it all, the crew soon mixes with the locals, including a woodland family: the soulful yet mischievous Aparna (Sharmila Tagore) takes to the overconfident Ashim, while her widowed sister-in-law Jaya (Kaberi Bose) grows closer to the bookish Sanjoy. At the same time, Hari, fresh off a break-up, woos a Santal girl named Duli (Simi Garewal); and Shekhar, despite his own penchant for gambling, tries to rein in his companions’ boozy hedonism. Filled with some of Ray’s most indelible characterizations and lavish images (shot by longtime cinematographer Soumendu Roy), Days and Nights in the Forest touches on masculine vulnerabilities and Indian class divisions with the graceful complexity of a master at his peak.
The high Andean community of Hualla was one of the first areas controlled by the Shining Path when it began its armed struggle against the Peruvian State in the early 80s. But Hualla would soon pay a very high cost for having become a support base for subversion. 30 years after the end of violence, the community inaugurates a memorial that pays homage to the victims during the internal armed conflict and its inhabitants break the silence of a past that still hurts.

"A rare glimpse from the inside at the daily racial, economic, and environmental issues confronting the African American residents of San Francisco's Bayview/Hunters Point districts (circa 2001). This documentary depicts hip-hop culture in its rawest, uncut form: from the history of this once-thriving black community, built military-barrack-style overlooking the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard (an Environmental Protection Agency Superfund site) and PG&E's toxic wastelands, to the truth behind the alleged gang-related "Rap Wars."--Container.
