Closing the Ring

Synopsis

Oscar winning Director Richard Attenborough helms a deeply moving love story, beautifully interwoven between 1991 and World War Two, about how an American woman honoured a wartime promise, with a lifetime of denial - and how the discovery of a gold ring on a distant Irish hillside brought her back to life.

Director: Andy Campbell, Judi Alston

Year: 2023

In a future Northern England devasted by climate change, an environmental worker uncovers an abandoned library where books and technology have fused into the architecture and landscape to create new stories.<br /> <br /> 19-year-old CJ is working to salvage valuable resources from the flooded and haunting remains of a once-thriving coastal town. The world she inhabits leaves her feeling angry and displaced. She is living through the catastrophic consequences of previous generations’ mistakes.<br /> <br /> Taking shelter from an approaching storm, CJ ventures inside the old library, where she discovers a bizarre ‘living’ fusion of nature, language, and technology. At its heart is The Librarian, a malfunctioned AI that has been gathering data and archive film from its turbulent surroundings.<br /> <br /> Affected by years of extreme temperatures and abnormal weather conditions, The Librarian is forming its own unique work of literature: a story of connectedness and hope that needs a strong and resilient protagonist.

The Time Before The Time Before

Director: Leo Metcalf

Year: 2025

Haunted by unanswered questions about himself, Olly journeys through his past. His story unfolds in two starkly contrasting realms: the raw simplicity of his childhood, captured in his own drawings, and the fluid, surreal world of his dreams. We glimpse the fractured memories of his early years: an abusive father, a mother lost in the haze of the past, and his sister Sally, a beacon who urged him to find escape and control within his own imagination, transforming nightmares into refuges from reality. <br /> Official Selection Raindance Film Festival 2025 - World premiere <br /> Official Selection Venice International Film Festival (Biennale Cinema) 2025 - International premiere
