After the Screaming Stops

Synopsis

Formed by Camberley twins Matt and Luke Goss, teenage pop sensations Bros tasted brief but massive success in the late 1980s, becoming the youngest band to headline Wembley. Both brothers moved to America following the group’s break-up, with drummer Luke becoming a Hollywood actor (he’s appeared in two Guillermo del Toro films) and singer Matt enjoying several Las Vegas casino residencies. Despite a tense and fractured relationship, last year the pair attempted an ambitious London reunion. Documenting the conflict and understanding that is born of an unfathomably close genetic bond, After the Screaming Stops is an affectionate and frequently funny portrait of life on the comeback trail. Never less than fully committed, the siblings’ serious dedication generates more than a touch of Spinal Tap-esque grandiosity. (LFF brochure)

A woman smiles during an interview Folk to Folk

Director: Saoirse Crean

Year: 2026

Led by renowned vocal coach Jennifer John, Folk to Folk follows a group of women in Liverpool who use traditional folk songs to build unexpected connections across cultures. As they learn and sing in Gaelic, Romansh, Boro and other languages, the sessions uncover shared themes that unite us. The songs rise like ghosts from the past, stirring memories, laughter and tears, and opening a safe space for the women to reflect together. “This project proves that music is a universal language. It allows us to feel, to be emotional, and when we do that together… that’s where the power lies” - Jennifer John

Director: Ornella Mutoni

Year: 2024

A group of young adults born during or just after the 1994 genocide against Rwanda's Tutsi people gather to find the courage to break a powerful taboo. Rwanda is one of the few nations in the world providing specialist counselling for children conceived through rape, who number 10,000 across the country. Here, course leader Emilienne, a mother, therapist and genocide survivor, helps the group to imagine a future free from family secrets and societal stigma. In a circle of supportive peers, they tell their individual stories and face their struggles together, in the hope their participation will advocate for others facing similar trauma.
