Synopsis

Filmed over a 30-year period, CUTS, MORE THAN A HAIRCUT delivers a vital portrait of the low-key, world-famous London barbershop ‘Cuts’ - not just a place to get your hair styled but a space for street fashion and pop innovators. Guided by freewheeling founders James Lebon and Steve Brooks, who met when one was a Rockerbilly and the other a New Romantic, the salon moved from early '80s post punk roots to become a communal hub for DJs, photographers and style icons, an influencer in the analogue age. Bearing witness to the passing of time brings profound and often tragic personal change in the hairdressers' lives within the wider context of immense shifts in the UK's political and cultural landscape. The film is an anthem to the promise of youth and the friendships that endure over a lifetime.

Synopsis

A raw, character driven, feature documentary exploring safety, belonging and human dignity through one extraordinary story. At the end of the last century, Alen fled the Bosnian War as ethnic nationalism tore apart his home. Finding sanctuary in Britain as an eighteen-year-old refugee, he rebuilt his life in London, starting a family and training as a Health and Safety professional. Then came the UK’s deadliest residential disaster since WW2. The Grenfell fire, in June 2017, led to seventy-two deaths and exposed a nation-wide housing-safety crisis. Alen, his family and thousands more realised they were living in unsafe homes. Refused help from the government, Alen took a stand, but soon found himself evicted, living on the street and fighting the very system that had once protected him but was now quietly erasing him. Through Alen’s decade-long journey to get back home, the film bears witness to the human cost of political negligence, corporate greed and systemic failure. Embodied in Alen’s life, reflected by Grenfell and echoed across the geo-political landscape, HOME asks what it means for our world when the very values that define our humanity conflict with the systems and structures we have allegedly built to preserve them.

Synopsis

In small-town America, a solitary man drifts through life until a group of fearless young creators crash into his world. Ray Panthaki makes his feature directorial debut with a coming-of-middle-age drama, subtly weaving themes of historical colonialism into a modern story of identity, belonging, and unexpected connection. Filmed with a poetic, observational eye, IN STARLAND captures the punk-rock chaos of youthful rebellion colliding with the quiet reckoning of a life half-lived. A tender, sometimes volatile, meditation on chosen family, cultural inheritance, and the connections that can change us in ways we never see coming.
