In A Day
Synopsis
One ordinary morning, young struggling musician Ashley Branstead (Lorraine Pilkington) suffers a shocking encounter with a stranger.
This disturbing assault inadvertently triggers what becomes a very intriguing day with another stranger, her apparent knight in shining armour, seemingly genuine - but odd - Michael (Finlay Robertson).
By his subtle and not so subtle persuasions Ashley finds herself spending an enchanting but unusual day with the spontaneous Michael, quickly becoming captivated by his generosity and charm. But all is not as it seems.
Ashley begins to suspect that his actions might have an ulterior motive. Who is the mysterious stranger? What are his true intentions and who is he acting for?
When his secret is eventually revealed the truth threatens to destroy their whirlwind romance.
Some days you wish had never started, then along comes one you hope will never end. Anything can happen in a day.

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.
