A baby, an ageing mother & a Greek exorcism. Removal of the Eye by Artemis Shaw and Prashanth Kamalakanthan is a sharply funny personal portrait of new parents, family & what happens when everyone is exhausted and nobody agrees on what to do. Premiered at Rotterdam. Coming to Holocene. #filmsky

For José Luis Guerín, story is a point of departure, not the main event. He spent three years in one Barcelona neighbourhood making 'Good Valley Stories.' We're delighted to have him in the Holocene journal. #filmsky

I've been ridiculously excited this week about the new Journal we created. I love the Guardian's Q&As, where a few questions can give you a glimpse into a person. So I thought, why not create one for filmmakers screening with us? It feels really special.

Coming soon to Holocene: Gods of Stone Filmed over 15 years, Iván Castiñeiras Gallego follows Mariana from childhood to adulthood in a village on the Portugal-Galicia border, as people leave and a way of life begins to disappear. A quietly powerful film about memory, belonging and home. #filmsky

A quiet village, early 20th-century Romania. Growing unease. Something terrible is coming. Andrei Cohn's HOLY WEEK (Berlinale 2024) follows a Jewish innkeeper as antisemitism turns violent. A tense film on fear, and how easily victim and perpetrator blur. Coming to Holocene. #filmsky

Portugal, 19th century. Léon and Elvira are travelling performers with no money, no home and absolutely no intention of giving up on their art. João Nicolau’s playful, musical and wonderfully strange Providence and the Guitar opened Rotterdam 2026. Coming to Holocene. #filmsky

🏆 San Sebastián Special Jury Prize winner. José Luis Guerín’s Good Valley Stories is a poetic portrait of Vallbona, Barcelona, where farming families, migrants and generations of residents share a neighbourhood in transition. A tender film about community and belonging. Coming to Holocene. #filmsky

We’re excited to share. 'Affection, Affection' by Alexia Walther and Maxime Matray, will be part of Holocene’s launch this Oct. Set on the French Riviera, a teenage girl’s disappearance leads to an increasingly surreal investigation populated by eccentric characters and unexpected turns. #filmsky

After a long stretch building in private, Holocene is starting to take shape. We're a virtual cinema for international and independent film, where films screen as events instead of sitting in an endless catalogue. Eight titles are already confirmed with more coming. Launching this autumn. #filmsky
