Downton Abbey
Synopsis
The letter announces that Downton will play host to the King and Queen for a single night during a royal tour of Yorkshire. Lady Mary temporarily sidelines the question of mending the roof to focus on the task of overseeing the arrangements. But it’s below stairs – the flailing feet under the gliding swan – that the organisational burden is shouldered. The redoubtable former butler Mr Carson is tempted out of retirement, much to the annoyance of current butler Thomas Barrow. Meanwhile, a smouldering family feud reignites between Lady Violet Crawley and her estranged cousin Maud Bagshaw, lady-in-waiting to the Queen...

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.
