CLOSING NIGHT PREMIERE: YANUNI + Q&A
Join us for a celebratory closing night as we announce the North Light Award winner and share one last unforgettable film to round out the weekend. Scottish Premiere. Deep in Brazil's Amazon rainforest, Yanuni plunges us into the frontlines alongside Indigenous chief Juma Xipaia, her partner Hugo, and their community as they navigate a landscape under siege. As illegal miners close in on their village and Juma’s pregnancy advances, each day brings fresh tests of their courage, determination, love, and the survival of their unborn child. Director Richard Ladkani captures the raw power and ancient wisdom of Juma’s people, their rituals, stories, and unbreakable bond with a land now under siege. The film cuts between Hugo's armed riverbank patrols and Juma's defiant speeches at COP26 in Glasgow, exposing the brutal collision between violence and hope. A battle cry demanding we stand with those whose very existence is resistance, Yanuni shatters borders with its urgent truth: defending our home isn't optional—it's survival. Followed by live Q&A with director Richard Ladkani and producer Anita Ladkani.
