Smoke Sauna Sisterhood
The first documentary by an Estonian director to compete and win at Sundance, SMOKE SAUNA SISTERHOOD is a deeply moving, intimate and breathtaking approach to issues of trauma, healing, and community. Filmed almost as if a Vermeer or Rembrandt painting, the camera is never intrusive, never mechanical. Rather, the images move as the smoke – lingering, wafting, suspended briefly before disappearing and reappearing. With an authentic voice and authority born of their own heritage, filmmaker Anna Hints has created a transformative experience of being human within a female body, showing women “as they are” with great emotional veracity and deep empathy.

The Tale of Silyan
From Tamara Kotevska, the Oscar-nominated director of Honeyland, comes a poetic documentary set against the stunning landscapes of North Macedonia.
Nicola and Jana are aging farmers whose tender relationship sustains them through harvest season. But as economic pressures make small family farms increasingly unviable, their children join the wave of migration abroad in search of work. Left behind, Nicola finds an unexpected companion: a white stork with a broken wing that he nurses back to health.
The film takes its title from a Macedonian folk tale about Silyan, a boy transformed into a stork after quarreling with his father. As Nicola tends to the injured bird and grapples with the distance from his own son, the ancient legend finds new resonance in his contemporary struggle.
Shot by cinematographer Jean Dakar, The Tale of Silyan captures the majestic presence of the country's abundant white stork population and the quiet dignity of lives shaped by the land. Kotevska crafts an observational documentary that eschews commentary for pure poetry—a meditation on family, migration, and the stories we tell to make sense of separation.
