A collection of innovative nonfiction filmmaking
Spectrum is the festival’s most expansive space for boundary-breaking nonfiction — where form ruptures and futures flicker. These films rewire documentary grammar through mythic conjurings, archival remixes, and radical aesthetics.
From media uprisings and protest movements to quiet reckonings with grief, memory, and belonging, this program spans the globe — from the Black diaspora in the Global North to intimate, place-rooted visions from Sri Lanka, Kenya, China, and South Korea. Together, these works speak in cinematic frequencies tuned to risk, reinvention, and revelation.
