The Devil Makes Work For Idle Hands
Director: Colin O’Reilly
Year: 2025
A man on parole, a struggling mother, and a pair of drug-dealing brothers each become part of a dizzying multiplicity of plots, but one story. A working class drama focusing on social mobility, disillusionment, and the struggles of working class people. Seen through the perspectives of three characters, the film is loosely based on real life events and uses a mixture of professional and first time actors.
Body, Remember...
Director: Matthew Berka
Year: 2026
After C. P. Cavafy. Dedicated to the body, to remembering, to forgetting. When blinded, the senses can cross-pollinate so that they become more closely bonded. Likewise, they can also disassociate and lose contact with each other. Desire transforms things into other things. The erotics of absence and suggestion direct attention away from the materialism of pornography. Longing is described through cinematic space as distance and proximity.

It
Director: Rosemary Norman, Stuart Pound
Year: 2026
