Red, White And Brass
Red, White And Brass is a light-hearted, entertaining New Zealand film about the love for sports, determination, and community.
When die-hard Tongan rugby fan Maka hears of the match between Tonga and France, he’ll do all it takes to score a ticket. But when things don’t go as planned, Maka is forced to take drastic measures—that means creating a fake brass band in hopes of performing for the pre-game show.
With only four weeks to pull it off, Maka and his crew must learn to play real instruments, coordinate a performance, and convince organisers they belong on the field.

The Beautiful Spark
Based on the real-life restaurant La Belle Étincelle in Paris’s 15th arrondissement, which hires people with disabilities, The Beautiful Spark tells an inspirational story about second chances and overcoming adversity.
The film centres on Philippe Lamarck, a once double–Michelin-starred chef who has faded from fame after a controversy.
Shunned by the culinary world, Philippe stumbles upon an opportunity to become head chef at the newly established La Belle Étincelle. He soon learns that this restaurant isn’t quite like any other. Its manager, Virginie, founded it to support her autistic son Noé’s culinary dreams, and she employs only people with disabilities. Within this unique kitchen, Philippe finds an unexpected chance at redemption.
Good Luck Sam
Starring Best Actor Awardee at Cannes (Days of Glory, 2006) and Venice Film Festival (A Son, 2019), Sami Bouajila, Good Luck Sam tells an inspiring cross-cultural story about sports and identity.
Childhood friends Sam and Stéphane own a business selling top-of-the-line skis. However, with rising competition from larger companies, the two men devised a bold plan to save their business. Sam (Sami Bouajila) takes on the improbable challenge of qualifying for the Winter Olympics and competes under the flag of his father's home country of Algeria, despite not speaking a word of Arabic.
As he embarks on this herculean journey, Sam begins to rediscover his roots.
