The remarkable true story of six working-class Scots who created some of the most enduring and influential soul and funk music of the 20th century. Rising from the clubs of Scotland to the top of the U.S. Billboard charts, Average White Band’s journey is one of extraordinary talent, cultural crossover, and resilience. Just as global fame beckoned, tragedy struck with the sudden death of drummer Robbie McIntosh - a devastating loss that would change the band forever.
Featuring electrifying archive performances and intimate new interviews with the surviving band members, alongside contributions from Chaka Khan, Michael McDonald, Mark Ronson, DJ Premier, Questlove, Chuck D, and Flavor Flav - the film explores how AWB, as one of the most sampled bands in history, left an indelible mark on hip hop, R&B, and popular music - influencing generations of artists.
Set in the rolling landscapes of the Cotswolds, a documentary exploring the lives, challenges, and traditions of the farmers who shape this iconic countryside. Through intimate conversations with a new generation and those who have worked the land for decades, the film reveals how farming families are navigating change - from shifting economics and environmental pressures to evolving ideas about land stewardship and community.
Rooted in place and guided by the voices of those who live it every day, the documentary offers a rare, personal portrait of modern rural Britain and the people working to sustain both land and livelihood for the future.
Filmed over a 30-year period, CUTS - MORE THAN A HAIRCUT delivers a vital portrait of the low-key, world-famous London barbershop ‘Cuts’ - not just a place to get your hair styled but a space for street fashion and pop innovators. Guided by freewheeling founders James Lebon and Steve Brooks, who met when one was a Rockerbilly and the other a New Romantic, the salon moved from early '80s post punk roots to become a communal hub for DJs, photographers and style icons, an influencer in the analogue age.
Bearing witness to the passing of time brings profound and often tragic personal change in the hairdressers' lives within the wider context of immense shifts in the UK's political and cultural landscape. The film is an anthem to the promise of youth and the friendships that endure over a lifetime.
In the summer of 1997, two 19 year old lovers set out from the Birmingham suburbs in a classic car. Their destination: the grave of Nick Drake, whose music had become a shared language between them and a comfort for their unacknowledged pain.
This journey, captured in memory and reimagined on screen, becomes a meditation on youth,
longing, and the quiet power of music to shape identity and connection where deeply hidden
vulnerabilities can be shared.
Interwoven with this personal narrative are intimate audio interviews with artists from different
generations who reflect on how Drake’s music shaped their lives and creative paths. Their
insights echo and deepen the emotional terrain of the road trip, creating a layered portrait of
influence, absence, and resonance.
The extraordinary story of Richard “Ric” O’Barry, once the world’s highest-paid dolphin trainer, now their most passionate defender, risking his life and liberty to free these remarkable creatures from captivity.
In the 1960s, Ric was America’s leading dolphin trainer at the Miami Seaquarium and the celebrated trainer behind the hit TV series 'Flipper', whose smiling stars enchanted a generation. Everything changed after the apparent suicide of one of the show’s dolphins, Kathie - a moment that shattered his beliefs and set him on a radical path from insider to activist.
For over 50 years, Ric has led a global campaign against dolphin captivity. As founder of Dolphin Project, he has risked arrest, injury, and personal loss to rescue dolphins and expose the industry’s darkest secrets. Both celebrated and criticised, he remains steadfast that every captive dolphin can either be retired to a sanctuary or returned to the wild.
Told through intimate family access, joyous underwater imagery, and covert filming, Ric’s mission has transformed a non-issue into a global movement. Now 85, he must ask: after a lifetime spent freeing others, can he finally set himself free?
What if you went on a holiday and the apocalypse happened?
GALICIA! is a found-footage, hybrid-documentary following a couple through home video footage as they visit their friends at a winery in rural Spain and inadvertently capture the end of days.
We live in a time where the sense of our impending mutually assured destruction is more real than it’s ever been. GALICIA! Takes the form of a holiday video - a document of a couple before - and after the great cataclysm. The film starts as something that feels unedited - an accidental video diary of an ordinary couple that feels somewhat ghostly as much as it is also pedestrian. As the film evolves and degrades, we are led to question the fragility of humanity, as well as its power to endure.
Following the director, Beryl Richards's adopted son Nathan/Joe’s journey from a one-year-old to adulthood, told from the viewpoints of parent and child.
Joe wants to make this film so people ‘get’ him, know what it means to be neurodivergent, and what he has been able to achieve despite many challenges. Beryl shows the evolution of a family created from scratch that’s had to keep adapting. The challenge and recalibration of being a parent and a lifetime carer.
The core of the story is told through 28 years of home movie footage- sparky, warm and funny as Nathan/Joe develops into the man he is today. Alongside, a growing boy is shown, much misunderstood and almost destroyed by the prejudice and ignorance surrounding neurodivergence. The family therapy received along the way offers some support, but also reveals how the family dynamic was influenced by Beryl’s own experience of childhood neglect.
Beryl first saw 6-month-old Nathan on a VHS tape. She and husband Dave responded with a video welcoming him to their home. For the past 28 years Beryl has recorded “our feelings, our joy and our pain" so that Nathan could better understand his story later in life.

Shot on location in both Upstate New York and New York City LOIS AND PEGGY reveals the essential domestic side of this iconic performance duo and lays bare the complexities of two artists juggling their work and their relationship simultaneously. Showcasing the depth, complexity, and universality of love, this documentary makes a valuable contribution to the cultural and historical legacy of LGBTQ+ communities - capturing and preserving the experiences of love and relationships within a context that has often been marginalized or erased from history.
