Dead Fish
Synopsis
Date: not his best day
None of these were on his wish list:
1. Mimi (Elena Anaya), his Spanish girlfriend, announces she is pregnant and storms off to Madrid.
2. Debt collector Danny Devine (Robert Carlyle) gives Abe 24 hours to pay of his debts 'or else'.
3. Switching cell phones with Lynch (Gary Oldman), a neurotic hit man.
4. Being wanted dead by at least 2 assassins.
5. Getting a contract to kill a Dead Fish.
Abe has to get through the day, without being killed or killing anyone, earning enough dough to pay back Devine and most importantly making sure he doesn't lose the girl he loves.

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.
