Shooting on 16mm film in Mozambique, director Ico Costa explores the textures of human behaviour as he follows young men who wonder what lies beyond their immediate surroundings. In the fragments of conversations captured in the Maputo market, a recording studio and on coconut trees, we find daily routines and tedium lead to chit-chat on desire, money and hope. In the interplay between performance and document, poetry emerges from fleeting everyday moments.

Temple Road

Temple Road 2025

1

Temple Road is a journey into the heart of womanhood, taking its name from the road that leads to the temple in the director’s hometown of Nyeri, Kenya. Inspired by childhood experiences, including women-only ceremonies and family Polaroid photos taken between the 1950s and 1970s, the film recreates a woman’s spiritual and ritual preparation. Weaving a dreamlike narrative, it blends the rituals of Kenya’s Indian heritage with the diversity of Kenyan cultures, reflected in a multicultural cast and intertwined ceremonies. Celebrating the sanctity of community, it creates a sacred space where women express themselves freely through rituals, song, and dance. Temple Road is both a tribute to the past and a call to recognize women as bearers of culture and tradition amidst increasing violence against them in Kenya.
