An enthralling and often incredible documentary in which the line between victim and perpetrator is blurred, prompting a series of questions that are, at heart, difficult to answer.

It may come in at 140 minutes but Edgar Wright’s doc is snappy and well-paced, revelling in the memorable music and delicious sense of humour that very much define the work of the brothers Mael, aka Sparks.

A thoroughly engrossing and shrewdly structured documentary that slowly draws out and explores its central character, allowing room for complexity, remorse and reflection.

An intimate look into the life of the late British jazzman Ronnie Scott and how his legendary (and eponymous) jazz club - ‘one of London’s absolute essentials’ - came to be.

An impressive achievement for Brooklyn-based filmmaker Saad Khan who wrote, directed, co-produced and co-edited this intriguing look into the world of Pakistan’s theatre dancers - once worshipped and respected, now hunted and lusted after.

A warm-hearted and at times gently insightful delve into the life of Czech sex-worker Anny.

A beautiful love letter that breathes the unconditional love of a community for the ground beneath its feet, and the will to preserve a treasure much greater than any money can buy.

In this non-judgmental, respectful and empathetic documentary, three Israeli families hold on to the semen of their dead sons for future harvesting.

An enthralling look back at the moment when, in the 1970s, women finally decided that enough was enough, and the time was ripe to fight for pensions, equal pay and maternity leave.

A thoroughly absorbing, beautifully structured film that offers a perspective on football, that of the ref, that is rarely seen.
