Synopsis

Vasilly has become painfully jealous of his best friend, Luke. They both interviewed for the same career-making graphic design role, but Luke got the offer whilst Vasilly returned to his dead-end labouring job, drained of hope and creativity. However, things aren’t going so well for Luke. Every time he shares good news about his new role he suffers strange and violent repercussions. Disturbed by the uncanny timing, Vasilly recalls his Yiayia’s warnings about the Greek superstition of the evil eye - a 5,000-year-old belief that jealousy can manifest harm through a malevolent glare - and starts to believe his own envy might be to blame for Luke’s bad luck. As events escalate, Vasilly spirals into paranoia and guilt, confronting the possibility that the true danger lies not in superstition, but in himself. A darkly comic psychological thriller about male jealousy, inherited superstition, and the corrosive power of repressed ambition. Official Selection Aesthetica Film Festival 2025

Synopsis

The exhilarating yet heart-breaking true story of the meteoric rise of British-Yemeni boxer Prince Naseem Hamed and his relationship with Irish Boxing trainer Brendan Ingle. Naseem faced down the abhorrent racism and islamophobia that swept Britain in the 80s and 90s, to become a defining global icon of the era, both inside and outside of the ring. With his unorthodox style, cocky persona and sheer dominance of the sport, Naseem was as loved as he was divisive, in the public eye, and away from the spotlight. Together with Brendan Ingle - a steel industry worker who ran a humble boxing gym in an church hall in the North of England - they founded an unlikely dynasty that would change the face of boxing globally and launch Naseem as one of the most memorable and controversial global sports stars in history. GIANT is a story about ambition, glory, identity and the search for our place in the world. Official Selection BFI London Film Festival 2025 - World premiere

London, 1931. Abel Lively is broke, alone and terrified of going outside his one-man movie studio, Lively Pictures. A reality-challenged title writer with an imaginary parallel existence as the gun-slinging star of his own action-adventure serial, Abel is fast approaching a crossroads. Penelope Peabody, a former Paramount poster artist and current unemployed portrait painter who shares Abel's distaste for talking pictures, catches his eye and unknowingly sets in motion a collision of worlds. Soon, Abel will be forced to face the perils and possibilities of two worlds: the one in his head, and the one in which he has a chance at real love. What follows is a planet-spanning odyssey replete with mad scientists, barren wastelands, vengeful utility companies, draconian judiciaries, sinister machines, prophetic visions, unbearable heartache, crippling poverty, murderous phantoms, fiendish debt collectors and an interfering Betty Boop. A silent film featuring performances from Louise Brooks, Wallace Beery and Edward G. Robinson alongside a modern cast, with an entirely original solo piano soundtrack.

In this surreal South London, Hag's journey becomes mythical as her despair crystallises into a quest for answers, and she must face the ultimate test! In a world where being true to yourself makes you monstrous, what is the cost of compromise and repressing your authentic self?
