Synopsis

The controversy surrounding the Parthenon Marbles centres entirely on their initial acquisition and their current location in the British Museum. In 1983, when she became the Minister for Culture of Greece, the esteemed actress and politician Melina Mercouri reignited Greece’s argument that they were illegally removed from the Parthenon temple in Athens by Lord Elgin. The British Museum has consistently affirmed the legality of its acquisitions and that they are better and more securely preserved and appreciated in London. In the past, it has been stated that the sculptures are an essential part of its wider world collection, which enables visitors to understand both the full cultural and historical context of ancient Greece. Greece asserts that the sculptures are integral to its national identity and historical narrative, and that only their reunification with the remaining Parthenon artefacts in Athens can provide the fullest, most complete, and meaningful context for their display. With both sides standing firm on their positions, the debate remains unresolved. THE MARBLES advocates for reunification in what has become the art world’s most pressing issue.

Synopsis

It is the summer of 1943. A small and very disparate group of people arrive on a remote Orkney island beach tasked with a top secret mission - the making of pornographic films for the boys at the front. For who knows how long this war still has to run, and fighting morale - as we learned only too well from the last one - is everything. So then, a very war-damaged former movie star; a celebrated German film-director; a munitions-machinist-come-aspiring-actress; an Etonian major from the Ministry of Information; an aging, alcoholic hair-and-makeup artist; a young lad, as innocent as can be, and right on the very threshold of war’s bloodbath. Oh, and a half-starved and very ragged Luftwaffe pilot, watching on from afar… Official Selection Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival 2026 - Competition - World premiere

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
