Silent Hour

Adventure is on the cards this week in Moana 2, while a fairy tale friendship comes under strain in musical Wicked and drama surrounds the election of a Pope in Conclave. The lives of women in Mumbai come into focus in All We Imagine As Light - read our interview with Payal Kapadia - a US woman rediscovers herself through an unlikely friendship in Your Monster, and Japanese women's lives are explored in Remembering Every Night - read what director Yui Kiyohara told us about it. A extreme experience of reality TV is addressed in The Contestant - director Clair Titley shared her thoughts - while a family history of abuse is explored in The Taste Of Mango and a Guatemalan abuse scandal is transformed through magical realism in Rita - see our interview with director Jayro Bustamante. Real life is stranger than fiction for The Man With A Thousand Faces, the realities of trans people's involvement in sport are explored in Changing The Game, and daring journalist Margaret Moth is remembered in Never Look Away - we spoke with director Lucy Lawless. A detective with hearing loss and a Deaf witness team up in Silent Hour, a woman on the rebound makes an unwise dating choice in The Imposters, a teenager gets in too deep with a cursed calendar in Advent, and there's a re-release for Christmas classic The Polar Express.
