Synopsis

Enter The Collider, a machine built to decode the mysteries of human relationships. Its mission: to identify the corrosive, delightful and mysterious material that passes between people – that keeps us together and pulls us apart. Created for two people at time, the experience guides each person along a journey, directing the movements of both into a choreography that investigates their own relationship with power and control. Each participant enters separately but, soon, their journeys converge. One enters a virtual world revealing the inner vision of the machine, the other can manipulate the visions and actions of that virtual world. The experience culminates in an unmediated encounter where the pair work out, together, what has happened. The Collider builds the real choreography of going in and out of VR with another person in the room into a theatrical experience which creates its own spectacle – a dance between two limited humans failing and failing again to see the other’s experience and then, finally, the rush of connection when they do. From #metoo to Kavanaugh, Brexit to Brazil - The Collider moves from the political to the personal to ask: what do you do with power when you've got it? Official Selection IDFA 2018 - World premiere

Synopsis

Filmed over a 22 year period, NO IFS OR BUTS delivers a portrait of Soho barbershop, Cuts, an iconic London hub for street fashion and pop innovators. Guided by freewheeling founders James Lebon and Steve Brooks, who met when one was a rockabilly and the other a New Romantic, the salon moved from early ’80s postpunk roots to become a hip-hop club and communal hub for DJs, photographers and style icons. But the film "is not just about the haircut", delivering an intimate portrait of Steve struggling with a traumatic past that threatens to derail the Cuts universe. The film traces profound and often tragic change in the hairdressers' lives within the wider context of the UK's political and cultural landscape- an anthem to the promise of youth and the friendships that endure over a lifetime.

Synopsis

Formed by Camberley twins Matt and Luke Goss, teenage pop sensations Bros tasted brief but massive success in the late 1980s, becoming the youngest band to headline Wembley. Both brothers moved to America following the group’s break-up, with drummer Luke becoming a Hollywood actor (he’s appeared in two Guillermo del Toro films) and singer Matt enjoying several Las Vegas casino residencies. Despite a tense and fractured relationship, last year the pair attempted an ambitious London reunion. Documenting the conflict and understanding that is born of an unfathomably close genetic bond, After the Screaming Stops is an affectionate and frequently funny portrait of life on the comeback trail. Never less than fully committed, the siblings’ serious dedication generates more than a touch of Spinal Tap-esque grandiosity.
