HELL IN A CLIMATE HAVEN (USA | 2025 | 16:30 min)

Directed By: Evan Kidd
With an end goal of raising $25,000 to benefit Refugee Community Partnership in Carrboro, North Carolina, Snap Pea Creative Dining and refugee chef Laetitia Nsengi craft a 12-course pop up dinner and fundraiser inspired by dishes she grew up eating in the Republic of the Congo.
ONCE UPON A WETLAND (USA | 2025 | 16:00 min)
Directed By: Elizabeth Miller-Derstine
ONCE UPON A WETLAND is a short documentary that plunges into the heart of Durham’s beloved Beaver Queen Pageant — a raucous, homegrown drag competition that blends environmental activism with community-powered camp. From beaver ballads to glittery protest signs, the pageant turns performance into resistance and transforms a local park into a sanctuary for radical joy.
