Synopsis

Nineteen-year-old super-mouthy Asian girl Fouzia is a checkout girl in a supermarket who's looking for romance while having an uproariously good time with her best friend Adelle in Bhangra Heads.

Set in Bristol's colourful Easton, Bhangra Heads is a comic exploration of romantic ideals whilst attempting to examine some of the inherent snobbery in Asian culture obstructing the pursuit of true love.

Director: Leo Metcalf

Year: 2024

Olly sifts through his memories searching to understand why he is the way he is. The narrative swings between two contrasting worlds: his memories of his first years, captured by his childhood drawings, and surreal underwater live-action scenes representing his dreams. We witness fragmented memories of a torn family - an abusive father, a mother whose memory seems faded, and a sister, Sally, encouraging her little brother to escape through imagination and dreams. As memory and fantasy blur, The Time Before becomes a meditation on the stories we tell ourselves to survive, and what is lost in the telling. Official Selection Aesthetica Film Festival 2024
