Hollow Hollow

Director: Rob Sorrenti

Award winning director Rob Sorrenti's latest short film Hollow is a sensitive observation about the nature of addiction. Exploring the idea that love isn’t always enough when it comes to getting clean and the inevitable sacrifice that comes with sobriety. Alice and Marcus are young and in love. They keep trying and failing to get over their heroin addiction until they find out Alice is pregnant. Now it’s not just about getting clean, it’s about staying clean. But can they do it? Only one thing is certain. If their love for each other and the baby is all they can rely on, it is never going to be enough.

Woman in blue headscarf looks to the side with one hand holding her scarf away from her face Simran Kaur 1970

Director: Keshavi Jaharia

Year: 2026

In 1970s London, Simran arrives at Heathrow Airport from Punjab to be married in two weeks. Dressed for the journey, she moves through the warmth and order of the terminal until she is quietly diverted into a secondary corridor. In a calm examination room, procedures are explained to her in a familiar language, framed as routine and voluntary. What follows is a polite, administrative process that determines her right to enter the country. When Simran is allowed to leave, the airport resumes its rhythm. Outside, her future husband waits. Life continues.
