The Pigs Underneath
Director: Charlie Dennis
Year: 2025
Residents from a tight-knit working class town are forced to meet a brutal quota just to survive. If they fail to meet it - they are punished with something far worse than death. This film offers a heightened approach on a widening gap between those who have unchecked power and increasing greed - and the struggling many. Socioeconomic exploitation and systemic class oppression. Official Selection Toronto International Film Festival 2025 Official Selection Tampere Film Festival 2026

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.
