Sweetie Sweetie

Director: Becky Brazil

Year: 2007

As a hard-pressed family struggles to get home after a days shopping, a young girl discovers that mum doesn't always know best. Sweetie follows seven year-old Tash and her family - mum Lynn, dad Kevin and little brother Ewan - as they attempt to catch a bus home after a day out at the local shopping centre. Life is sweet, until they discover that they don't have the correct change for the bus and are subsequently 'thrown off'. Watched by a voyeuristic crowd both on the bus and at the bus stop, small actions and reactions cause more problems and humiliation for the family.

Denzel Baidoo as Marcus, forlorn at the dinner table. Clocks

Director: Yv Shells

Year: 2026

When Arlo arrives to find Marcus has cooked someone else’s favourite meal, a single question begins to unravel an evening that refuses to stay in the present. Through a fractured timeline set entirely within one dining room, we move between Marcus and Arlo and the relationship that came before, with Una, the woman he met at a late-night bus stop and once talked about marrying. The same table, the same chairs, the same arguments about trust, honesty and what it means to truly see someone. As the timelines bleed together, it becomes clear that Marcus has never fully left the past, and that Una’s ghost sits at every table he sets. When Arlo asks what her own favourite meal is and he cannot answer, the film’s quiet devastation lands completely. CLOCKS is a portrait of a man who loves generously but sees poorly, and the women who carry the cost. It asks what we owe the person in front of us while we are still in love with someone we lost, and whether a feeling ever truly ends.
