Haunted by unanswered questions about himself, Olly journeys through his past. His story unfolds in two starkly contrasting realms: the raw simplicity of his childhood, captured in his own drawings, and the fluid, surreal world of his dreams. We glimpse the fractured memories of his early years: an abusive father, a mother lost in the haze of the past, and his sister Sally, a beacon who urged him to find escape and control within his own imagination, transforming nightmares into refuges from reality.

Synopsis

This is a story about a man who threw a party, which birthed a globally renowned event, which led to a film, which led to a lawsuit, which led to a legacy. Founded in 1972 by sculptor Andrew Logan, The Alternative Miss World is a celebration of transformation and unorthodox beauty. Starting as makeshift private parties held in his artist studio in an old jigsaw factory, the event married the Miss World competition with Crufts dog show, all with a sense of joy and humour. An instant smash hit, early judges and competitors included cultural legends like David Hockney, Derek Jarman, Zandra Rhodes and Leigh Bowery. 1978 saw them take the party public, hiring a big-top tent on Clapham Common for a circus themed extravaganza, hosted by drag icon Divine. A film about the night premiered at Cannes in 1980, and was meant to make it’s London debut on the same evening as the Miss World event. However there was an attempt to scupper this homecoming when later that year they found themselves in The Royal Court of Justice, being sued by Miss World and represented by a trainee barrister by the name of Tony Blair… Official Selection Raindance Film Festival 2025

Synopsis

Forced into retirement against his will after decades spent working deep underground, Dave boards the late shift train with little fanfare or ceremony. His replacement is already onboard: Mark, a nervous newcomer assigned to help implement a new computerised system designed to automate many aspects of Dave's long-standing job. Young, efficient, and quietly idealistic, Mark represents everything Dave resents - and fears - the relentless march of technology and the loss of traditional skills that shaped his identity and pride. But when an explosive misfire ahead causes a section of the tunnel to collapse, the train is forced to an abrupt and terrifying halt, trapping everyone onboard. Dust hangs thick in the stale air, mingling with the metallic scent of overheated machinery. Cut off from the surface, with emergency systems failing, communication dwindling to silence, and water running perilously low - the situation quickly escalates from a simple mechanical failure into a dire, existential threat to all lives onboard. Mark and Dave must confront buried secrets before time and trust run out.
