Where The Sea Used To Be
Synopsis
Straight from the airport, his meets his brother James in town for that One Drink before catching the train back to his wife Nadia and his little son Nikolai.
The brothers aren’t exactly at ease in each others’ company. The One Pint is consumed and another ordered. But no, Patrick has to catch his train; the last one on Christmas eve. Or so he claims.
He’s long gone by the time James realises he’s left his laptop behind. James rushes to the station but there’s no sign of Patrick.
Patrick is back in the pub, having missed his train. Apparently.
So James and Patrick spend the day together, winding each other up and never talking about the things that need to be talked about. Patrick hasn’t been back to the old neighbourhood for a long time, and somehow or other the brothers’ day out begins to take them in that direction, out along the coast road, into the sea air, where memories wait in ambush and the past is waiting. Patiently.

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.
