The Last Picture Shop
Director: Liam Saint-Pierre
Year: 2027
THE LAST PICTURE SHOP follows Ümit Mesut, an eccentric 64-year-old Cypriot Cockney projectionist who owns the last cine-film shop in the UK. Against the backdrop of gentrification and the cost-of-living crisis, the shop comes close to closure. Persuaded by his close filmmaker friend Liam, the two embark on an improbable mission: head to Hollywood, track down the high priest of celluloid, Quentin Tarantino, and ask his support to save this wonderful shop before it is lost forever. Little goes to plan, with countless twists and setbacks, their friendship and even their love of cinema is tested, but only through their epic journey do they realise the answer to their quest lies closer to home. The documentary is a heartfelt homage to cinema, filled with humour and humanity.
Dream Factory
Director: Alex Matraxia
Year: 2023

Katherine May Fannon (Falling in time)
Director: Helga Dorothea Fannon
Year: 2025
"Driven by a single photograph that seemed to hold pieces of myself and my sister, I began interviewing my father to uncover the life of his mother, Katherine May Fannon, and her roots in Liverpool. The image stirred something deep - I realised how much I wanted to know her, to feel connected across generations. Though my father lives in Sweden, we bridged the distance over Zoom, with only faded photos he shared as windows into her world. Through these stories, I hoped not only to understand her but to feel closer to him as well." This film was created during Stitch & Remix, a 3-day workshop by Renaissance Studios in collaboration with London's Screen Archives as part of the Undocumented project by London's Screen Archives and The New Black Film Collective. Seeking to address the lack of Black stories in London's moving image archives. This project, and workshops such as Stitch & Remix, are made possible through the support of the BFI, awarding National Lottery funding. Official Selection, Wysiwyg 2026
