Project Detail

Borders, Raindrops (Granice kiše)

Synopsis

A film about longing and belonging, set high up in the mountains above the Adriatic Sea. A city girl, Jagoda, visits her extended family in the Balkan countryside during the summer, awakening hope, love, and the sense of mystery. The story unfolds in a recently fragmented space, on the borders of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and Croatia, and is mirrored in the narrative structure of the film, which is broken in two halves and an epilogue. The ghostly presence of the young woman creates a connection between the two families, divided by the newly formed borders, with no passports or umbrellas needed.

After being away from home and estranged from his family for three years, a Palestinian transgender man returns for the first time to attend his father’s funeral. But, when he arrives, he’s met with a cold reception, making him wonder if he can face his past, make peace with his family, and find his own closure with his father. Blending comedy and drama, Alterations reveals moments of humour, tenderness, and quiet resistance. It explores how identity is negotiated within family structures, and how transformation - like grief - is both deeply personal and universally human.

Kirsty's Promise

Director: Jeff Notton

Year: 2026

A thriller centring on the relationship between two friends. Kirsty has escaped heroin addiction, and the dangerous world of sex-work to facilitate this addiction, only with massive fortitude and determination. She cherishes her new life with her partner and two young daughters and is desperate for her mate Becky, still trapped in a cycle of drug-dependency and sex-work, to do the same. However, as Becky finds herself in her deep trouble with a ruthless drug dealer, Kirsty is pulled back into a violent world she fought so hard to be free of, creating a deadly threat to her and her family. As events build to a brutal climax, Kirsty must decide how much she will risk for her friend. A gripping human story, with authentic characters under extreme pressure. Shot entirely in Bristol, England, with dark back-streets and alleyways reminiscent of those of any major city.
