Dark Revival The Cycle of Existence

Synopsis

Aryan Pandey, a Nepalese Migrant Worker living in Peckham South London, experiences an existential crisis as he tries to make his way in the world of work. Aryan finds it hard to cope with the stresses of everyday life.
Absurd visions of a disturbing nature plagues Aryan’s mind and place fear in his heart. Aryan’s inability to confide his fears to girlfriend Sarah places a strain on their relationship.
Aryan’s inner voice encourages him to exercise the power of concentration to build the mental strength and resilience to free his mind from mental decay.
Through deep meditation and exercise, Aryan gains the willpower, strength and self-belief to face his demons in the heat of the night. Aryan’s voyage of self-discovery illustrates the power of the human will to overcome adversity during times of crisis.

a fish passing between two pairs of hands the thought of the innermost being

Director: Jack Jeffreys

Year: 2026

Fish are nightly invaders of my sleep. Work consumes my dreams. Night gives way to another commute; adverts appear before me, their faces drawn tight. The day passes again, and at night, within the walls of my workplace, a fishmonger’s in London, dreams appear again, this time, a grief-stricken reverie, memories of my father. The film's title is inspired by Maurice Blanchot’s ‘The Book to Come’ which incited my exploration of whether images can capture anything sacred in a world of dispossession. A diaristic, psychogeographic journey through a city that metastasises uncontrollably before me, the film captures a form of alienation that supersedes and confounds the trajectory of grief. What is lost when all becomes gloss? Official Selection BFI London Film Festival 2026
