Synopsis

Set in a mosque waiting room in 1980s South Wales, and inspired by the true story of writer-director Sara Nourizadeh's parents, a young couple whose relationship crossed boundaries of culture, faith and expectation. At a time when Iranian politics dominated UK headlines and shaped public attitudes, a Welsh woman and her Iranian fiancé prepare for an Islamic conversion ceremony – a requirement they must fulfil if they are to marry. What follows is a quietly charged and emotionally intimate portrait of two people trying to navigate a moment that is both deeply personal and subtly political. As they wait for the ceremony to begin, small details – a trembling hand, a whispered joke, a fleeting moment of doubt – reveal the emotional stakes beneath the surface. Their conversation dances between humour and tension, affection and uncertainty, reflecting the push and pull of family pressures, cultural misunderstandings, and their own hopes for the future. Authentic VHS archive footage of the real couple is interwoven within this scripted drama, grounding the film in lived experience and offering an unexpectedly tender glimpse into the decades that followed.

Synopsis

The arrival of a mysterious stranger at an old allotment on the fringes of London triggers a chain of strange events and uncanny rituals that upend the lives of its tightly knit community. Aiden Salter, a reclusive nature writer with a debilitating personality disorder, spends his days sealed inside his council-block bedsit, obsessively watching the allotment community below — the only family he has. Down on the plots, canalboat dwellers Alvie, Rayna, Shay and David cling to each other on the forgotten edge of London’s Lea Valley. Each night, a shared terror gnaws at them, haunting dreams that blur the line between sleep and something far darker. When Aiden finally steps into their world, the allotment is already under threat: a vanished Ukrainian boy, a plot-holder’s horrific suicide and police preparing to shutter the gardens within days. All signs begin to point toward Aiden…and to Elsie Bierce, a notorious American occult publisher drawn to the site like a moth to flame. As ‘Ourhaven’, branded “Sourhaven” by local tabloids, faces closure, it also readies to unearth it’s most diabolical secret.

Synopsis

It is said that Penrhos cottage was built in one night. According to Welsh folklore, if you could build a house overnight on common land, with smoke rising from the chimney by dawn, the place would be yours to keep. 200 years later in rural Pembrokeshire, the house stands still in time. Beneath its thatched roof lived Rachel and Maria, two sisters who spent their days crafting a life that defied societal rules written for women. Quietly radical, the pair were celebrated by the whole community. A fairytale documentary told through the eyes of the children who once visited. Recounting memories of Penrhos and the legacy of its last owners, the past flickers back to life.

Synopsis

An intimate observation of Rainbow Mbuangi, a key player for Merseyside Blind Football Club. The film embeds itself within Mbuangi's daily life, documenting the structured routines, intensive training, and social world that orbit his athletic pursuits. Through a rigorous focus on sound - both the necessities of his off-field navigational aids and the specialized, rattling 'soundball' used in the game - the documentary explores the complex relationship between dependence and autonomy. On the pitch, where he is fully reliant on auditory cues, Mbuangi challenges conventional notions of athletic space and visual interpretation.
