Synopsis

In Brighton, on the South coast of England, sharpened by the sting of sea spray, and mellowed by numinous light, a tight-knit community of oddballs and heart-felts live together in a tatty old mansion, the Fletcher Apartments. When a golden feather, the priceless antique mascot of the building, unexpectedly disappears, the residents have a mystery to solve. Will they find the talisman that previously bound them together, or will their community, now divided against itself, irrevocably unravel?

Synopsis

Burnt Toast is a contemporary ghost story that resurrects legendary British comedian Tommy Cooper, who famously died mid-performance in 1984. Blending machine learning, VHS footage, archival materials, and a trained impersonator, the film follows Phil, an unemployed magician trapped in the decaying home of the director’s late schizophrenic uncle. Phil’s hallucinatory act navigates the alienation of late capitalism, touching on social class, identity, mental health, and delusion—all punctuated by his trademark jokes and failed magic tricks.

Synopsis

What begins as an exciting escape to a beloved caravan park quickly turns into a fragile attempt to rebuild their lives and heal from the trauma of their past.

As the days pass, Linda experiences a breakdown, her trauma manifesting as psychosis. Struggling to stay grounded, she becomes increasingly detached from reality, her grip on the present slipping further with each passing hour. Eventually, in a moment of deep disconnection, Linda disappears. MILES AWAY is an intimate portrayal of the psychological aftermath of abuse. As Ali and Max search for their mother, the film delves into the silence that surrounds mental health and trauma, capturing the haunting emotional journey of those left behind.

Synopsis

A surreal comedy featuring five businessmen attempting to conduct some business. However; discussions ranging from the varying degrees of colours that asbestos comes in, the sorrow felt from killing a little blue bird, the strong desire to kick slow walking strangers into oncoming traffic and an idea to use underpants-wrestling as an apology for an out of place physical altercation - all keep getting in the way of actually allowing any formal business transactions to take place. THANKS TO MEET YOU! pushes you face first into a bewildering trip through the corporate wormhole, as the nonsensical water-cooler moments simultaneously fill your nostrils and cover your eyeballs until you can no longer breathe. And then it just sort of stops.
