Crooked Frames
Synopsis
But how did it all come to this? CROOKED FRAMES puts each crook in the frame and tells their story:
Nick is quick-witted and iron-willed. The painting will be his no matter what.
Davey is just the getaway driver. Nothing bad ever happens to the driver... Right?
Lewis only wants to help a mate. He really doesn't know what he's signed up for.
Barry just really digs the art you know.
Cat wants to escape her own dark secrets.
Trevor is spontaneous and fun loving. Even when committing acts of violence.
'Head office'. Well, that's how she's listed in Trevor's phone. Has anyone ever actually met the boss?
The strands of their stories entwine and entangle before finally tying together when they find shelter in a mountain bothy: a remote highland hovel. In the middle of nowhere everything unravels as the truth finally emerges. Each of them must face up to what they have done, and in a fight for survival, must decide what they are prepared to do next.

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.
