Thief Lord

Synopsis

A mysterious masked figure, a mix of Zorro and Robin Hood, flits over the roofs of the old city of Venice at night. He is the Thief Lord. An ancient merry-go-round with magical powers is hidden on an island in the lagoon of Venice. It can advance or reverse the age of its rider if the long-lost lion's wing is found and re-attached. The Thief Lord and his gang of ragamuffin child runaways find the wing and are drawn into a fantastic and spellbinding adventure that will leave them all changed forever.

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.
