Opa!
Synopsis
Now on this sun-splashed island Katerina careens her bicycle down a steep hill while her nine-year-old daughter, Agapoula, exhilarated, hangs on for dear life. Katerina is unmarried, owns the village taverna, and lives a fulfilled if simple life. The last thing she needs is an unsettling romance, but that's exactly what she's about to get.
Down in the harbour, the ferry pulls in to the docks. Tourists, shoppers, locals returning home stream into the village - and one stranger, Eric, an American archeologist who has come to the island in search of a lost biblical artefact that his father had searched for in vain. Tierney, the resident archeologist and local character, shows Eric the ropes. When Eric and Katerina meet - Opa!
But the course of true love is never straight, and soon Eric determines that the ancient chalice he seeks is most likely buried right under Katerina's beloved taverna. The Mayor and the townspeople want the acclaim and tourists that the chalice will bring - Tierney needs further funding to keep his ongoing project alive - and Eric wants to fulfill his (and his late father's) life-long quest.

Gabriel and Me
Director: Udayan Prasad
Year: 2001
Jimmy Spud is not your average eleven-year-old Newcastle lad. Keener on understanding the mysteries of the Universe than playing football, his plan to become an angel comes to fruition when he meets and is befriended by the Angel Gabriel. Jimmy's angelic aspirations are not, however, welcomed by his long-suffering family. The feather-covered costume that he wears to carry out his angelic duties - including the dramatic rescue of a young Scout from drowning - doesn't help either. When his Dad falls seriously ill, Jimmy decides to use his celestial powers to try and save him. The Spuds need a small miracle to make things better.

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.
