These films examine the moments when boundaries blur, when personal choices ripple through larger systems, and when intimacy becomes both a refuge and a complication. Entanglements invites you to contemplate the intricate currents of relations, the way our lives are weaved together through love, community, politics, and circumstance.

Whether it’s a story of neighbours drawn together by shared mourning, families navigating the chaos of an uncertain world, or strangers whose lives collide by chance or design, each short offers a glimpse into the beautiful, messy intersections that define us.

No one exists in isolation. History, identity, and social forces continually tug at the threads of individual choices, revealing the deep and often uneasy connections that bind people together in care, in conflict, and in consequence.
