Fist of Justice Fist of Justice

Director: Matt Routledge

Year: 2006

Taunted by his peers for his Americanised 'cop' persona, Connor Phillips (Matt Routledge) is unequalled in the art of fighting crime. Turning chopsticks, trouser belts and socks into unusual weapons to combat crime, he is a walking advertisement for the Merseyside Police. However, the kung fu kicking detective's skills are put to the test when a new gangster, Felix Danno, places a nerve gas bomb in Liverpool's city centre, hell bent on revenge. After some deadly games of cat and mouse, Connor faces a race against the clock to locate the bomb and save his home town from destruction.

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.
