Synopsis
As Manning and Jarvis piece together the events that led to the murderous night of 7 November 1974, the story flashes back to London in the early seventies - a period when Lucan's infamous gambling addiction and carefree attitude to money was finally catching up on him. With mounting debts, his marriage in tatters, separated from his children due to custody reasons, Lucan becomes more and more desperate to solve his cash crisis. A shady money lender, Mike Maloney, enters Lucan's life. He suggests a burglary of Lucan's Belgravia home where he would keep the stolen items and Lucan could claim on the insurance.
Jarvis and Manning are getting closer and closer to the truth. Was the death of the nanny Lucan's handiwork or merely a botched burglary carried out by Mike and an accomplice?

Gladiatress
Director: Brian Grant
Year: 2004
To set the scene - the year is 55 B.C. The Romans are beating a bloody swathe across the European continent. Any nation daring to defy them is swiftly and brutally crushed into servitude. Mighty Gaul has just fallen and Rome has set its sights upon a small, cold and rather damp island across the narrow waters of the Channel. Now, with the Romans invading, it is up to three sisters to save their country from the bonds of slavery. Smirgut - Magnificently strong, she towers over most men and then beats them into unconsciousness with a large club. Dwyfuc - Exquisitely beautiful and irrestible to men, she is also very spoilt and something of a control freak. And finally, Worthaboutapig - the youngest, plainest and undoubtedly dumbest of them all. Gladiatress - A tale of three sisters against the entire Roman Empire. With a little help from the Gods, an emormous amount of luck and a really big axe - they just might be able to do it.

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.
