Emerging Directors' Spotlight
No Say
A joyful depiction of a young girl’s childhood takes a turn after she says “not it.” With a mixture of home-video and film footage, No Say juxtaposes the playful sights and sounds of youth with a sense of entrapment, and the violent end of innocence brought on by forced marriage.

Drifting in and out of the physical reality of the forest of his childhood, and his own hyper-realistic headspace, we discover Kevin’s perspective on the world and his craft of music-making.

Imagine a long shot of a back alleyway with chain link fences, garbage bins and walls of graffiti. Julian is seated on a fire escape and meets his friend on what seems like an ordinary day. Static conveys the intensity and urgency of being impacted too closely by violence.
