Synopsis

Brave as whiskey Bold as brass A laugh like a bell And a warmth unmatched, built hearth upon hearth Your house rumbles Excerpt - 'The Public House Rumbles' by Alexandra Ewing Shot in the single location of a Glaswegian pub, PUBLIC HOUSE is a sequence of vignettes, some characters recurring and others not, just like real life. A myriad of eccentric and troubled souls pass through, looking for a drink, solace, a conversation, someone to love, an audience, sex, an explanation, revenge, or just a place to be. The film delves deeper than the sum of its parts, asking existential questions. How did we end up here? Why do we do what we do? Should we try something else? Ultimately the film is about committing to something. To an idea, a place, an affair, grief, a philosophy, family, a tall tale, loss, love, a joke, a friend or simply trying to make it through the day.

Synopsis

When a woman disappears in an underpass, her grieving friend investigates. But after she too vanishes, the mystery erupts across social media. As more women disappear from the same location, the internet fractures into competing theories: a hidden serial killer, institutional failure, or something supernatural. Told through CCTV, livestreams, mobile phones and social media, SAINT MARIA'S WAY begins as a true crime investigation before mutating into a supernatural found-footage horror. The film explores our cultural obsession with public investigation, surveillance and the spectacle surrounding violence against women, asking whether constant documentation ultimately reveals the truth - or feeds the monster.

Synopsis

When Russia started its full scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Slava Vakarchuk immediately joined the army. He is the lead singer of Ukraine's most popular rock band, Okean Elzy. He has put himself in danger by performing hundreds of times for the troops at the front, and is an articulate and highly respected advocate for his country's right to exist. President Zelensky gave him and his band a new mission - a world tour to champion Ukrainian culture and raise the morale of refugees living abroad. The band's performance at their sell-out concert at the UK's Royal Albert Hall acts as the spine of the film. The band was formed on the dawn of independence, and their songs have become anthems of pro-democracy revolutions ever since since. The film charts the band's 30-year history with contributions from a varied group, including Timothy Snyder, Andriy Shevchenko and music producer Ken Nelson, all to tell the story of how 'soft power' can be used as a weapon of self-defence.
