The Other Woman The Other Woman

Director: Matthew Sanger

Year: 2007

A car idles at the end of a dirt track, its headlights pointing out into the forest. Inside: two women. The Redhead has a gun. She idly, but dangerously, holds it on the Blonde girl beside her. Redhead does most of the talking. Blonde's eyes dart in quiet fear as she hears about what her 'faithful' man has been up to. With Redhead. Not just sex, but business. Lucrative. And criminal. He's not the man Blonde thought he was. Jesus, that's an understatement. Is Redhead telling the truth? Is Blonde in this situation simply because Redhead changed her mind and doesn't want to share the spoils of the last job they did together? A simple hostage handover? Or is it even simpler: Redhead wanted him all to herself and he said no. Revenge. Either way, he's late arriving. And Redhead's trigger-finger is beginning to twitch.

 About an Intimate Matter About an Intimate Matter

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.
