From compelling drama to inventive animation, discover some of global cinema’s stand out new voices in this exclusive programme. Highlights include Anahita Ghazvinizadeh’s Cannes award-winner Needle, in which a young girl grapples with ear piercings, parental divorce and the realisation that adults are far from infallible; and Emily Carmichael’s brilliantly original comedy RPG OKC, in which two video game characters experiment with online dating. Plus much, much more from the world’s most exciting, up-and-coming female directors.
