라이즈
Director
'라이즈'는 리그 역사상 처음으로 삼 형제 모두가 (밀워키 벅스의 야니스와 타나시스 아데토군보와 LA 레이커스의 코스타스 아데토큰보와 그의 동생 알렉스) NBA 챔피언이 된 놀라운 가족의 실화를 바탕으로 한 영화다. 이 엄청난 재능을 가진 나이지리아 출신 그리스인 가족의 이야기를 통해 신선함을 맛볼 수 있다. '라이즈'는 한 가족이 신념과 믿음만으로 불투명했던 미래를 개척하고, 세 명의 NBA 챔피언을 (MVP 2회의 야니스와 그의 형제들인 타나시스와 코스타스) 배출해 내는 과정을 잘 보여준다. 2021 시즌에서는 야니스와 타나시스의 활약으로 그동안 부진했던 벅스가 50년 만에 처음으로 우승을 했고, 코스타스는 그전년도 우승 팀이었던 LA 레이커스에서 뛰었다. 나이지이라에서 그리스로 이민을 간 베라와 찰스 아데토군보 부부는 국외 추방 위협을 무릅쓰고 다섯 아이를 키우며 힘들게 살아가고 있었다. 그들은 맏이를 나이지리아에 있는 친척들에게 맡겨둔 채, 그리스 시민권을 얻으려 노력했지만, 매번 자격 미달이라는 이유로 쓴맛을 봐야 했다. 형제들은 가족들과 아테네 거리에서 관광객들에게 물건을 파는 시간 외에는 지역 유스팀에서 농구를 하곤 했다. 그들은 농구를 늦게 시작했음에도 불구하고 엄청난 재능이 있다는 걸 알게 됐고, 세계적인 선수가 되기 위해 피땀을 흘렸다. 2013년에 야니스는 에이전트의 도움으로 희박한 가능성을 뚫고 NBA 드래프트에 선출됐고, 이 일로 가족 모두의 운명이 바뀌게 됐다.

Naked Reality
Madiba
An experimental Afrofuturistic fable centered around Wanita, a mysterious young woman who embarks on a journey of discovery that might just save humanity. One hundred and fifty years in the future, Africa has become a single, sprawling metropolis controlled by a race of immortal beings, and full of regular mortals dying from a disease called Bad Luck. As Wanita leaves home one morning, a prayer to her ancestors unwittingly starts her on a path to the Dimsi — another dimension, invisible to the eye, but discoverable by the soul. Can Wanita follow her DNA to break free from the shackles of the immortals? A purposely unfinished work, NAKED REALITY boldly leaves the audience with a blank canvas to interpret and create, as Bekolo grants viewers access to limitless answers waiting to be unearthed.
