Ollie Kepler's Expanding Purple World
Synopsis
Ollie's guilt merges with his scientific brilliance into a frantic attempt to redeem himself. Quitting his job in a bizarre act of defiance, Ollie spirals into a chilling world of obsession and tormenting voices, threatening both his friendship and sanity. Convinced that a strange piece of rock he has found is a micro-chip which holds a vital message from his fiance, Ollie sets about trying to unlock the chip with disastrous results. Somehow purple holds the key.
Disturbing and eerily humorous, the film explores the fantasies the mind creates when reality overwhelms.

Let's Stick Together
Director: Viv Fongenie
Year: 1998
A very contemporary urban comedy thriller about a group of unemployed friends who never do much more than sweat the small stuff, arguing the merits of chocolate cake versus strawberry gateau and the correct name for a pork pie with an egg in the middle. The world barely exists outside the house they share. They have no money, just an empty fridge with labelled shelves. Then one night they are tempted by the golden opportunity to share £200,000 in exchange for a little hard graft and a touch of nerve, in a race against the clock. All they have to do is shut up for long enough to spring the cash from a safe that is fast sinking to a watery grave. What's more, they have to do it and get out before the hard men who own it arrive to claim their prize or wreak havoc if denied.
About an Intimate Matter

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.
