Twisted Sisters
Director: Wolfgang Büld
Year: 2006
Jennifer was given everything a girl could wish for. Norah learned to survive on nothing. Now it is time for the tables to turn. Locating, stalking and mimicking the life of her twin sister, Norah decides it is time that she had it all - and no-one will get in her way. This is a dark film which delves into the mind of a twisted young woman whose lust for the 'perfect life' is fuelled by jealousy and hatred towards her sister. Ever since the twins were separated at a young age Norah knew that she had the harder life. Years later and Norah finally tracks down Jennifer. She has a nice flat and a loving boyfriend and seems to be living a dream. Alan, a hard-working young doctor, is devoted to Jennifer and sees their relationship growing stronger day by day - especially with the news of Jennifer's pregnancy. From his point of view nothing could be better! Unfortunately Norah does not share his idyllic sentimentality.

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.
