Solomon Kane

Synopsis

Captain Solomon Kane is a brutally efficient 16th Century killing machine. As the story opens, Kane and his band of pillagers are carving a bloody path through hordes of defenders in an exotic city somewhere in northern Africa.  When Kane and his men storm the flaming gates of a mysterious castle they discover that the castle is inhabited by demonic creatures. One by one, Kane’s men are picked off by the demons until he alone is left to face the Devil’s own Reaper – here to claim to Kane’s hopelessly corrupt soul. Though Kane manages to foil the monstrous Reaper, he knows that he now must redeem himself by renouncing violence and devoting himself to a life of peace and purity.

His newfound spirituality, however, is quickly put to the ultimate test when he begins his journeys across an England ravaged by diabolical human Raiders controlled by a masked Overlord. After Kane fails to thwart their brutal slaughter of the Crowthorns, a Puritan family that has befriended him, Kane solemnly vows to find and free their enslaved daughter Meredith - even if it means jeopardizing his own soul by re-embracing his murderous talents for a higher cause.

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.
