The Queen of Fashion
Director: Alex Marx
Year: 2026
A raucous celebration of the life and legacy of the late, great artistic visionary and fashion icon, Isabella Blow. It tells the incredible true story of Issie's magical ability to discover unknown, marginalized artists, like designer Alexander McQueen, milliner Philip Treacy, and model Sophie Dahl, and turn them into global icons, all whilst battling undiagnosed bipolar disorder.
Lemonade
Director: Kim Bartley
Year: 2026
A tender, uplifting story about first loves, second chances and the power of human connection. When teenager Danny makes a mistake that could derail his future, he unexpectedly reconnects with Josh, the social worker who once tried to help him but whose own mistakes drove them apart. When their paths cross again, Josh becomes both mentor and mirror, guiding Danny on his journey to manhood. Along the way Danny discovers that family is not always the one you are born into, but the one that believes in you when no one else will.
Savage House
Director: Peter Glanz
Year: 2026
England, 18th Century. The Savages are at their lowest: they despise each other, their house is falling apart, and they are disliked in polite society - sleeping with their servants, and selling off jewellery to keep their gambling and drinking going. Oh, and Chauncey Savage’s foot might be rotting off. This is until they are set to be visited by higher ranking nobleman. The honour gives them a renewed energy to get new outfits, polish their silver, and hire new help to make sure the House of Savage is looking as impressive as possible.
