Shooting Shona

Synopsis

Shooting Shona is an intimate thriller about the disappearance of Shona’s flatmate and her subsequent struggle to find her.

Strange things are happening in Belsize Park. Anonymous love letters lie on the kitchen counter. Shona (Sam Burke) has been randomly receiving them for weeks. They make her uncomfortable, only reminding her of how lonely she really is. Her closest friends seem to be moving on in their lives.

One morning, Shona finds the shower running and her flatmate has vanished. It becomes apparent that something horrible may have happened when a sinister man (Daniel Gosling) breaks into her apartment and rummages through the place.

All the while she is certain that she is being followed.

Circumstances draw Shona to meet a mysterious man called Art (Tim Downie), and eventually his odd drug-dealing friend Leon (Blake Biddulph), and they find themselves piecing together the mystery of Shona's missing flatmate.

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.
