Black Time

A woman with long brown hair holding an object above her head

Synopsis

Dexter, a scientist, pushes human knowledge and invents a time machine. The invention spirals into chaos when it unwittingly becomes a malevolent black hole, threatening the world’s very existence. She uncovers the aftermath of her creation when she discovers a cryptic watch, sent through time as proof of her invention's power. Then, face-to-face with her future self, Dexter becomes involved in a high-stakes battle against her destiny, eventually determined to prevent the very creation of the time machine. A shocking twist unfurls as a further version of Dexter emerges, a sinister doppelgänger orchestrating events from the shadows, manipulating the time machine's inception to fulfil a clandestine mission to alter her family's tragic destiny…

 About an Intimate Matter About an Intimate Matter

Director: Sandeep Kumar Paul

Year: 2026

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.
