Synopsis
Alex and Julia grow closer as they work together, but signs of a dark secret in Julia's past start to emerge. Attracted and intrigued, Alex pursues her; the closer he gets, the more dangerous she seems to become. Alex's world comes crashing down when he learns that Julia's tip was bogus, that his story was false - making him partially responsible for the slaugther that ensued. Alex then faces the starkest choice of his life: leave Lebanon beaten, broken and humiliated or risk his life to discover the truth behind the web of lies. With danger lurking at every turn, Alex tries to right the wrong he committed and, in the process, finally becomes the reporter he set out to be. In a nail biting finale, Alex helps Julian overcome her own deadly dilemma, allowing both characters to find redemption amidst the rubble of the city.

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.
