Unearthed and brought back to light, Resurface presents a handpicked collection of cinematic gems from the past. Each year, we invite a documentary filmmaker to curate films that have profoundly shaped how they view and interpret the world. This year, we join award-winning director Penny Lane as she shares the films that have inspired her creative journey. 

Known for her humour and unconventional approach to the documentary form, Penny has directed critically acclaimed documentaries such as Our Nixon (2013), Nuts! (2016), Hail Satan? (2019), Listening to Kenny G (2021), and Confessions of a Good Samaritan (2023).

Penny Lane is a special guest of the festival and will introduce all sessions in person.
