Christy
Synopsis
Between joining Shane on painting jobs, Christy makes new friends, including Leona, and is welcomed by the wider community. But he still struggles with the weight of an uncertain future and turbulent past, particularly over the trauma of having lost his mother at a young age. He’s also increasingly resistant to Shane’s insistence that he live with another family, which he sees as a painful rejection.
Christy’s success as a barber at the local salon and deepening friendships further pull at him, with his fear and fragility coming to a head after a bust-up with Shane. As the summer bonfire burns, Christy and Shane finally let their walls down and Christy learns to find his own feet within this new community; this new family.

No Women No Children
Director: Akporé Uzoh
Year: 2025
The aftermath of a sexual assault (rape). Exploring the deep-felt consequences for all involved. At its heart an epic story of a couple's fight for the survival of their love.
The Wilding
Director: Adam Park
Year:
Told through leaked footage compiled by a whistle-blower, the film follows Emma and Richard, a couple thrust into the wilderness to survive for 100 days. Their confidence quickly turns to terror as a malevolent creature begins stalking them, ultimately killing Richard in a gruesome attack. Emma escapes and infiltrates the facility where the show's creators review their "progress." There, she discovers the chilling truth: the creature is part of their unholy science. With the odds stacked against her, Emma turns the tables - delivering brutal justice with unexpected aid from the very horror that was meant to destroy her. A darkly satirical blend of horror, sci-fi, and mockumentary, THE WILDING exposes the monstrous extremes the powerful will go to cheat death - and the human cost of their ambition.
