Long Time Dead

Synopsis

When a group of friends take time out from clubbing to dabble with a Ouija board, what starts out as a high-spirited prank soon dissolves into a horrific and surreal nightmare. The Ouija board spells out the message ALL DIE, suddenly the friends are involved in a series of eerie murders and doubt and terror replace the previously happy bonds of friendship. One of the group is finally forced to face up to the demons in his family's past and resurrect his own childhood memories in order to overcome the intangible dangers of his own friends' future. The killer is closing in, but is he of this world, or some place far more sinister?

Denzel Baidoo as Marcus, forlorn at the dinner table. 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.
