In a modern-day Lisbon, a city caught between locals and tourists, two art students drift through a weekend of sexual fluidity and late-capitalist burnout. Sofia obsesses over nuclear war and lives in the shadow of the narcissistic Amandine but their toxic friendship is put to the test when Amandine crosses paths with Guilherme, a pseudo-intellectual Portuguese artist, at a fringe art event - derailing both friends' plans. An acidic comedy exploring intimacy, identity, and the contradictions of being human in a generation powered by irony, anxiety, and Instagram.

Synopsis

SIGHTNOTSEEING captures a cultural tour in post-colonial Kowloon, around the remnants of the Walled City, but not the kind of tour you'd expect. Filmed in a single overhead long take, it drifts through performance, misunderstanding, and (post-)truth, held together by confusion and just enough confidence to carry on.

Synopsis

A filmmaker investigates who tried f*cking up her friends' lives a decade ago. It's 2015 in the quiet suburbs of London, and some anonymous loser attempts to frame a group of teens for smoking weed at school. Luckily, one of the group has now become a promising emerging documentary director ( me :D ), and will stop at nothing to find answers in this short comedy-drama-tragedy documentary, The Following People DO NOT Smoke Weed. Executive produced by Julie Cohen (RBG), Tim Wardle (3 Identical Strangers) and Susan Simnett (Brides), this is a coming-of-age fable that brings to life the skewed priorities, conspiracies and dubious confrontations with power that define our youth...

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.

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
