Strings
Synopsis
Martial law is declared, and the heavy gates in the city of Hebalon are locked firm. No outsider can gain entrance. The Emperor's young and untried son, Hal Tara, who is now the heir apparent to the throne, is charged with avenging his father's death. But Hal is unaware that his kingdom is threatened from within, where traitorous and malevolent elements are planning to overthrow him.
Hal manges to gain access to the Zerith camp, but he is no longer so sure who is friend, and who is foe. As Hal gradually starts to come of age as a warrior, he falls deeply and passionately in love - a love that proves to be as blind and unreasoning as hatred itself.
It will take a moment of revelation before he is finally able to distinguish between his true friends and his true enemies. But it still remains to re-establish peace and justice in the land. A major new war is brewing, but battle-lines are unclear - and behind lose lines there are both friends and enemies.

About an Intimate Matter

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.
