Christy (R13)
Seventeen-year-old Christy is at a crossroads. He's just been thrown out of his pleasant suburban foster home and moved in with his estranged older brother Shane. As far as Shane is concerned this is a temporary arrangement, but Christy begins to feel at home on Cork's working class north side. As he makes friends and begins to let the community in, he also reconnects with his past through his seemingly more corrupting extended family, despite Shane's efforts to steer him away from this crowd. Shane wants something better for Christy at any cost - even if it means he has to push him away. After so many years apart, the brothers need to now reconcile their turbulent past whilst deciding what the future looks like. Christy draws inspiration from the lived experiences of the young people involved, assembling much of its ensemble cast from the Kabin Studio in Cork, a non-profit community space that has grown out of a love for hip hop and art. Winner of The Grand Prix at this year's Berlin International Film Festival, as well as Best Irish Film at the Galway Film Fleadh, Christy is a punchy drama not to be missed.

RADFF26 Parallel Universe: The Art and Design of Roy Good (E)
Roy Good is a rare figure in New Zealand art: a painter, designer and spatial thinker who never separated disciplines. Influenced by Bauhaus and De Stijl, he embedded abstraction into popular television shows, national logos and shaped canvases alike.

This insightful documentary reveals an artist of global significance, working from the edge of the world.

Architect, artist and designer, La Pietra is a unique case.

RADFF26 Bruno Morassutti, Theme and Variation (E)
Bruno Morassutti was a cultured and intellectually rigorous, yet understated figure in post-war Italian architecture. A former student of Giuseppe Samonà and Carlo Scarpa, Morassutti brought a deeply cosmopolitan sensibility to his work. His early travels across the USA, documenting the works of Frank Lloyd Wright, Richard Neutra and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, shaped his lifelong interest in structural experimentation and prefabrication. Back in Italy, he worked with Angelo Mangiarotti, before starting his own studio.
RADFF26 At the Garden's Pace (E)
Construction of the long-awaited new pavilion inside the Hilversum botanical gardens in the Netherlands begins. With the occasional help of the gardener and under the watchful eyes of the local residents, the architects—acting as builders—donned overalls and work shoes and navigated the year-long process. Join them for a walk through the garden, observing the construction in harmony with the unhurried rhythms of nature.
RADFF26 Adnan being and time (E)
This expressionistic portrait of the great Etel Adnan (b. Beirut, 1925) documents the artist and poet over the last five years of her life. Adnan is working without ego, asking, what does it mean to be alive, to live through catastrophe, to experience time?
