Dead Fish
Synopsis
Date: not his best day
None of these were on his wish list:
1. Mimi (Elena Anaya), his Spanish girlfriend, announces she is pregnant and storms off to Madrid.
2. Debt collector Danny Devine (Robert Carlyle) gives Abe 24 hours to pay of his debts 'or else'.
3. Switching cell phones with Lynch (Gary Oldman), a neurotic hit man.
4. Being wanted dead by at least 2 assassins.
5. Getting a contract to kill a Dead Fish.
Abe has to get through the day, without being killed or killing anyone, earning enough dough to pay back Devine and most importantly making sure he doesn't lose the girl he loves.

SightNotSeeing
Director: Sheung Man Yim
Year: 2026
SIGHTNOTSEEING captures a cultural tour in post-colonial Kowloon, around the remnants of the Walled City, but not the kind of tour you'd expect. Filmed in a single overhead long take, it drifts through performance, misunderstanding, and (post-)truth, held together by confusion and just enough confidence to carry on.
