Each month\, we invite you to experience a film that demands deeper discussion. Think Saturday morning cartoons\, but instead\, it’s bold\, boundary-pushing documentary cinema from around the world\, curated by the brilliant Cíntia Gil. \nFor May\, we’re honored to present The Garden Cadences by Dane Komljen\, a lyrical and fleeting portrait of a disappearing community. Komljen’s film drifts through the final summer of the “Mollies\,” a queer feminist collective that lived in a Berlin trailer park and garden for a decade before their eviction in 2022. But rather than offering a definitive history\, The Garden Cadences is a mosaic—glimpses of intertwined bodies\, hands in the dirt\, techno reverberating through makeshift walls. A radical act of tenderness\, the film resists easy conclusions\, preserving the texture of a place and time that has since vanished. \nKomljen’s approach to portraiture is impressionistic\, embracing the tension between presence and loss. Opening with a solitary plastic crate in the grass\, bathed in fluctuating light\, the film unfolds as a series of painterly vignettes—lush radishes\, reeds trembling in the wind\, lovers dozing in the heat. At times\, the camera lingers in stillness; at others\, it moves with euphoric abandon\, dissolving into bursts of blurred color and light. As one community fades\, another is set to replace it: an aquarium\, an artificial ecosystem where bodies—no longer human—will be contained behind glass. \nThere are two ways to join: \nIn-person: Visit our Ridgewood space! Grab a ticket to save your spot. UNDO Members can attend for free with their Member Coupon Code at checkout.\n\nOnline: Stream the event live from wherever you are—just sign up! \nFollowing our screening\, we’ll gather reflections\, questions\, and insights to create a longform podcast interview with Dane Komljen—a collective exploration of the film’s themes and creative process.

Each month\, we invite you to experience a film that demands deeper discussion. Think Saturday morning cartoons\, but instead\, it’s visionary documentary cinema from around the world\, curated by the brilliant Cíntia Gil! \nFor April\, we’re honored to present Undefined Things by María Aparicio. The film won the Best Film award in the 15th Annual Cinema Tropical Awards and we’re thrilled to co-present this program with Cinema Tropical! Undefined Things is a meticulous and deeply reflective meditation on cinema itself. Set in Córdoba\, Argentina\, this film follows Eva\, a film editor carefully assembling a documentary—not exactly about blindness\, as she says\, but about blind people and their distinctiveness beyond their condition. \nWe couldn’t agree more with Diego Semerene in Slant\, when he wrote – \n“Eva refuses to partake in that other kind of blindness—that of indifference to the political\, and to the poetic. It’s difficult to remember a recent film this devoted to restoring the profundity of cinema—not as a product\, but as a process—with such subtlety\, respect\, and elegance.” \nUndefined Things reaffirms cinema as an art form of depth and deliberation\, where every cut and rhythm carries meaning. Through Eva’s devotion to her craft\, Aparicio’s film reminds us that cinema isn’t just a product—it’s a way of seeing\, a way of living\, and a way of resisting indifference. \nThere are two ways to join: \nIn-person: Visit our Ridgewood space!

As a filmmaker whose work spans decades\, Theo has continuously explored Queer identity\, Indigeneity\, sexuality\, madness\, and love\, offering deeply personal yet politically urgent reflections on lived experience. \nThis program offers a rare opportunity to view nine of Theo’s films\, tracing his evolving artistic and personal journey. Among them is Dreams of Sunlight Through Trees\, his most recent short film\, which intimately documents his transition over a year and nine months\, set against the backdrop of escalating anti-trans legislation. This livestream will be the final chance to see this film before it leaves our platform! \nThe films in this selection reveal his unwavering commitment to self-documentation\, from early reflections on gender and sexuality in Lessons in Baby Dyke Theory to speculative imaginings of a post-colonial future in Reclamation. Whether drawing from personal experience or envisioning alternate worlds\, Theo’s films resist fixed narratives\, instead embracing identity as fluid\, complex\, and shaped by lived reality. \nNote:\nThis is an online event\, you can join in from anywhere in the world!\nUNDO Members can tune in for free – simply sign up for the livestream below!\nIf you’re not a Member\, you can grab a ticket![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column offset=”vc_hidden-lg vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs”][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][vc_single_image image=”147742″ img_size=”full”][vc_column_text] \nWatch the conversation between Presenter1\, Presenter2 and Presenter 3 on the UnionDocs’ Membership hub. \n[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Watch” style=”outline-custom” outline_custom_color=”#ffffff” outline_custom_hover_background=”#adadcc” outline_custom_hover_text=”#0000cd” shape=”round” align=”center” css_animation=”bounceIn”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_separator][vc_column_text] \nBios \n[/vc_column_text][vc_separator][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”147967″ img_size=”full” css=””][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text css=””] \nTheo Jean Cuthand was born in Regina\, Saskatchewan\, Canada in 1978\, and grew up in Saskatoon.

Her mother’s passing\, a lover fleeing conscription\, and the unraveling of everything she once knew push her to document her world with a fixated urgency.

Shot entirely at night during the 2020 lockdown\, with just a crew of two and no sound equipment\, the entire soundscape of the film was crafted by Taormina himself in post-production\, giving the film a uniquely personal and atmospheric depth. \nWe couldn’t agree more with Ryan Coleman from Bomb Magazine\, when he wrote: \n“There are always so many young filmmakers working tirelessly to become ‘emerging voices’ that it can be hard to know how to train your ear\, but the work of Tyler Taormina is a genuine revelation.” \nIn this nocturnal mosaic\, we follow suburban residents as they move through the quiet hours of the night\, some slipping through the darkness on rollerblades\, capturing an eerie sense of intimacy and alienation. \nStream the event live from wherever you are—just sign up below!

Between 1908-1951\, the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company (AIOC) -currently British Petroleum (BP)- strategically utilized ethnographic film and photography production to promote and represent its colonial developments in Iran. Investigating the relationship between petro-modernity and photography and film as technologies of coloniality\, “One Image\, Two Acts” unpacks the spatial and cultural manifestation of this emergent image economy which operated in tandem with the larger petroleum complex. \nWith a particular focus on the historical ethnographic film and photographic surveys produced by the BP\, One Image\, Two Acts examines the formations of early modernist infrastructures of leisure such as cinemas vis-à-vis the broader social engineering project and asymmetries of power in the oil towns of South-Western Iran. Unraveling the social spaces of leisure in relation to industrial spaces of labor\, this film connects and maps the cognitive and formal structures of modernist ideas of time\, leisure\, and desire during the oil company’s operations in Iran. This emergent oil encounter was not limited to the oil company’s colonial expansion; the multifaceted infrastructures of petroleum industry accumulated incrementally and temporally\, produced political assets\, and shaped politics along the way. This film examines the ways in which the oil company’s visual regimes of petro-modernity were reclaimed and countered by a growing anti-colonial cinema in which oil was a protagonist and cinemas had become the contested emblem of colonial development. \nReading the Iranian New Wave cinema against the backdrop of growing raw material sovereignty and nationalization movement\, this film analyzes two integral films of this period\, namely A Fire by Ebrahim Golestan (1961) and Amir Naderi’s The Runner (1984). It reframes oil not solely as an exchangeable commodity but rather as an archive itself; one that constitutes a web of imaginations\, aspirations\, and struggles. One Image\, Two Acts is a coalescence of infrastructures\, images\, and archives of oil wherein cinematic time and geological time mobilize different sites\, temporalities\, and numerous material modalities.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_column_text css=””] \nScenes of Extraction by Sanaz Sohrabi\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]43 mins\, 2023[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]Between 1901 and 1951\, the British controlled oil operations in Iran expanded their geological expeditions and geophysical methods for locating commercially viable oil reserves across its entire oil concession. “Scenes of Extraction” takes the viewer on an archival stroll into the British Petroleum Archives to unearth the still and moving images that documented this expansive colonial network of geological explorations that spanned across Iran\, but also reached other British oil concessions in Papua and South East Asia. The film traces the technical and social entanglement between the infrastructures of oil and the camera during the operations of British Petroleum across the Iranian oil belt. Scenes of Extraction weaves through decades of archival documents to parse out the visual history of the “Reflection Seismography” method for oil exploration which was heavily tested across the Iranian oil belt despite its destructive and probable nature. A technical legacy that is still heavily utilized in fracking and deep-sea mining enterprises globally and is the backbone of the global energy complex. \nScenes of Extraction focuses on the parallel production of geological and ethnographic surveys\, both through amateur geological footage and official film surveys produced by BP. Situated at the nexus between science and technology studies and media archaeology\, the film creates an archival constellation with previously unseen images and film footage taken during these seismographic tests. Scenes of Extraction creates CGI maps and spatial renderings by inputting the early geological aerial survey photographs and panorama films taken across the Iranian oil concession in an AI software. By blending the archival and speculative modes of representing the geological past\, the film reveals the gaps and discrepancies between the archival and lived histories of extraction and the ecological ruination of its aftermath. Reading the political economy of images in relation to extraction of crude oil\, Scenes of Extraction evokes the history of imperial and colonial extractive industries in relation to the history of photography and archives\, both as embodied technologies of extraction and dispossession in and of themselves. \nScenes of Extraction is the second episode of a trilogy of essay films that unpack the relationship between political economy of photography\, archival technologies\, and visual history of resource extraction in Iran. The first episode is One Image\, Two Acts (2020) which has been screened in over two dozen film festivals and has won seven awards since its World premiere at Montréal International Documentary Film Festival in November 2020.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_column_text css=””] \nProgram Duration: 87 mins \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column offset=”vc_hidden-lg vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs”][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][vc_single_image image=”147742″ img_size=”full”][vc_column_text] \nWatch the conversation between Presenter1\, Presenter2 and Presenter 3 on the UnionDocs’ Membership hub. \n[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Watch” style=”outline-custom” outline_custom_color=”#ffffff” outline_custom_hover_background=”#adadcc” outline_custom_hover_text=”#0000cd” shape=”round” align=”center” css_animation=”bounceIn”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_separator][vc_column_text] \nBios \n[/vc_column_text][vc_separator][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”153188″ img_size=”full” css=””][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text css=””] Sanaz Sohrabi (b.1988\, Tehran) is a researcher of visual culture and artist-filmmaker. Sohrabi works with essay film and installation as her means of research to explore the shifting and migratory paths between still and moving images\, situating a singular image in a continuum of historical relations and archival temporalities. Since 2017\, Sohrabi has done extensive archival research at the British Petroleum archives to engage with the history of photography and film practices of the British controlled oil operations in Iran\, conducting a visual ethnography of resource extraction in relation to the media infrastructures of BP. Sohrabi’s works have been shown widely in exhibitions and festivals. Including: Berlinale Forum Expanded\, International Film Festival Rotterdam (IFFR)\, IndieLisboa (Silvestre Section Best Short Film)\, Valdivia International Film Festival Chile (Special Jury Mention)\, Iran Cinéma Vérité Festival (Winner of International Mid-length)\, Mimesis Documentary Film Festival (Best Documentary Short)\, Ann Arbor Film Festival (Jury Award)\, DocLisboa\, Open City Documentary Film Festival\, Montréal International Documentary Film Festival (RIDM)\, Sheffield Doc/Fest\, Kasseler Dokfest\, Videonale\, VideoEX Zurich\, FIDBA Argentina\, among others. Sohrabi’s recent exhibitions include Ljubljana Biennial 2023\, SAVVY Contemporary\, Berlin\, VOX Centre de l’image contemporaine\, Montréal\, and Carpintarias de São Lázaro\, Lisbon. Sohrabi has been supported by fellowships and artist residency awards such as Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture and RAW Académie.  \nShe received her BFA from Uni­ver­sity of Tehran College of Fine Arts and an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago with a merit scholarship. She holds a PhD from the Center for Interdisciplinary Studies in Society and Culture at Concordia University\, Montréal.

Now he has found his collaborative equal in the engaged 16mm filmmaker Huw Wahl\, who has translated the text of Watt’s book-length prose poem Republic Of Dogs/Republic Of Birds into a luminous feature-length documentary essay of remarkable beauty and spirited attention. Anchored in Watts’ biography and lines\, it explores the larger truths of being and the calibrations of response to often hard earned\, lived experience. Considering the changing landscapes of settlement in London’s East End and Scottish islands\, the destruction of working-class culture and an attendant sense of the collective\, the film and its writing are themselves forms of cultural activism: elegy\, celebration and a toolkit for ongoing resistance. Never rhetorical\, always endowed with a profound empathy and a deep sense of relation – to time\, place and human struggle – The Republics is one of the most impressive artists’ films of recent years\, whose own poetry speaks as honestly and eloquently as that of the writer it portrays. \n– Gareth Evans\, Moving Image Curator\, Whitechapel Gallery[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_column_text css=””] \nProgram Duration: 83 mins \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column offset=”vc_hidden-lg vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs”][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][vc_single_image image=”147742″ img_size=”full”][vc_column_text] \nWatch the conversation between Presenter1\, Presenter2 and Presenter 3 on the UnionDocs’ Membership hub. \n[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Watch” style=”outline-custom” outline_custom_color=”#ffffff” outline_custom_hover_background=”#adadcc” outline_custom_hover_text=”#0000cd” shape=”round” align=”center” css_animation=”bounceIn”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_separator][vc_column_text] \nBios \n[/vc_column_text][vc_separator][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”152426″ img_size=”full” css=””][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text css=””]The work of Huw Wahl has been screened internationally at film festivals such as CPH:DOX\, Festival du nouveau cinéma and Open City Docs\, in art galleries and museums like Centre Pompidou Metz\, Royal Museums Greenwich and the Whitworth\, as well as in universities\, social centres and at music festivals. \nHe has won several international awards with his films\, and they’ve featured in magazines like Sight and Sound and The Wire\, and received funding from organisations such as Arts Council England\, The Henry Moore Foundation\, and the Royal Photographic Society. \nHis writing has been published in magazines\, academic journals and books.

Telling the stories of the Ruc and Kor people of Vietnam\, whose cave homes and tree houses were destroyed by American forces during the Vietnam War\, Quý probes questions of displacement and how space holds ancestral memory.

In his films\, he has experimented with combining abstract concepts-images with realistic improvisations during shooting. He is the alumnus of 2012 Asian Film Academy (Busan International Film Festival) and 2016 Berlinale Talents (Berlin International Film Festival). His films have been selected for international film festivals and exhibitions such as Locarno\, New York\, Clermont-Ferrand\, Oberhausen\, Rotterdam\, Busan\, Les Rencontres Internationales Paris&Berlin. He won the main Art Prize at the 20th VideoBrasil (Sao Paulo) in 2017. \nHis second feature film\, The Tree House\, premiered in 72nd Locarno Film Festival (Filmmakers of The Present Competition\, Swiss Critics Boccalino Award)\, where it was called among “Three of the festival’s best premieres” by Mubi and “a singular entrancing ode to memory and filmmaking” by The Film Stage.
