A story about the power of sex stripped away from morality and judgement. A glimpse into a part of our society that is very rarely represented and a tradition that is as old as our morality.
The key question in the movie and even the root of the movie lies in the character Annabelle's line: "There are people who get punched for money, they are called boxers, it’s even a sport. Better I get fu*cked for money."
I think sex is far more natural than violence and yet we glorify violence and shun sexual desire. This story is our way of opening that conversation.

How does one inhabit a world in which “the moon / & the drone hang in the same sky”? Doyali Islam’s poem 'letter' interrogates this question, offering no solutions. The work is saturated with longing – and charged by it.
A first of its kind documentary exploring the events that lead to the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre, also known as the Amritsar Massacre of 1919.
Presented by Kuldip Singh Sahota, we explore what really happened on that fateful day of April 13th 1919 in the heart of the Punjab, Amritsar. With the help of author of 'Garden of Bullets' Saurav Dutt, author of 'The Butcher of Amritsar' Nigel Collett, Dr Harish Puri and Dr Stephen Badsey, the events that lead up to the massacre are contextualised.
The massacre itself caused the deaths of up to 1000 innocent Indian men, women and children.
After the massacre a strict curfew was imposed on the city, thus stopping dead and the dying receiving any medical help. Then immediately a martial law was declared which further punished the local population with crawling and flogging orders.
When the strikingly confident Sapphire Jones meets the loitering Leon Magritte, it sets off a chain of events that strips away the layers of the planned city to reveal something dark and primal lurking beneath.
MIDSUMMER BOULEVARD is equal parts film noir, black comedy and cult murder mystery.
