Struggling to process the sudden and unexpected death of his wife, a young father’s hold on reality crumbles as a seemingly malign presence begins to stalk him from the shadowy recesses of the apartment he shares with his two young sons. What begins as a terrifying haunting, evolves into a battle of wills between a grieving family and their uninvited, unpredictable house-guest and tormentor; a man-like Crow, seemingly brought to life from the pages of Dad’s work as an illustrator.
Based on the award-winning novel 'Grief Is the Thing With Feathers' by Max Porter.

Against the backdrop of sunbaked parking lots, deserted courthouses, and empty suburban homes - the familiar spaces of true crime, stripped of all action and spectacle - a filmmaker describes his abandoned Zodiac Killer documentary and probes the inner workings of a genre at saturation point.
The true crime genre’s ubiquity is driven by people’s endless fascination, disgust, and - bizarrely -search for comfort in genre conventions that still have the ability to generate complex emotions despite their predictability and familiarity. In this wholly original, self-aware cinematic work, filmmaker and multimedia artist Charlie Shackleton dissects the true crime genre by recreating it. Using Bay Area landscapes, archival material, reenactments, film and TV clips, and voice-over to walk the viewer through what his film would have been like and why, this film is a captivating and entertaining experience that will forever change how you watch your next murder programme.

KING OF THE APOCALYPSE takes us into the heart of the American militia movement with Dakota Adams, the de-radicalized son of Stewart Rhodes – founder of the Oath Keepers who is now serving 18 years in prison for his role in the January 6 United States Capitol attack in 2021. With exclusive access to Rhodes, and framed by the unique perspective of his estranged family, we tell the story of the enigmatic militant leader’s origins, his turbulent family life, and his descent into paranoia and extremism.
With Rhodes in prison, even more radical militia leaders are emerging, such as Mike Dunn of the Boogaloo Bois, who believes that January 6 was just a dress rehearsal for the real civil war that's coming. Mike is the antithesis of gentle Dakota. While one young American claws his way out from extremism, we watch the other being sucked deeper in. As we immerse ourselves in their ideas and beliefs, we reveal the underpinnings of political violence and gain essential insight into where America could be heading.
Flesh as film, and film as flesh... An amateur archaeologist arrives on a desolate peatland in Lancashire, their mind filled with the strange power that peat-bog waters hold to preserve organic matter. They have come to excavate the peatland. They have come to exhume a body. But, in digging into the peat - and into the past - they unearth much more than mere relics. The peat holds forgotten histories, uneasy truths, and vast stores of climate-change-accelerating carbon. Reflecting the attempt to document and preserve this landscape via the moving image, the film becomes both a lament and a call to action for local peat-bog restoration and protection. A queer eco-horror which reflects on what it means to bury, to archive, to capture, to unearth. Shot in collaboration with the Lancashire Wildlife Trust, the film becomes both a lament and call to action for local peat-bog conservation.
