Nothing Compares
Director: Kathryn Ferguson
Year: 2022
NOTHING COMPARES is the story of Sinéad O’Connor’s phenomenal rise to worldwide fame, and how her iconoclastic personality would result in her exile from the pop mainstream. Focusing on her prophetic and challenging behaviour from 1987 to 1993, the film reflects on the legacy of this fearless trailblazer, through a contemporary feminist lens.

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.
