Destricted
Synopsis
Revealing the diverse attitudes by which we represent ourselves sexually, Destricted explores the intersection of art and pornography. By highlighting controversial issues about the representation of sexuality in art, the seven filmmakers question whether art can be disguised as pornography, and pornography as art or as something else altogether.
The result is a collection of explicit, stimulating, challenging, provocative, strange and sometimes humorous scenarios that leave it up to the viewer to decide. As compelling and contentious within the art world, as in the film industry, Destricted was among Artforum magazine's 'Best of 2005', an official selection for the 2006 Sundance Film Festival and the 45th International Critics' Week at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival. Destricted's first public screening will be at Tate Modern, London in September 2006 to mark its release on DVD and digital platform viewing.

About A Bell
Director: Simon Callow
Year: 2026
Sami, a Syrian refugee in the UK, and Bryony, an aimless young librarian, embark on a highly personal quest to preserve a bell from a demolished Christian church. What begins as a civic protest quickly becomes a criminal case when they accidentally near fatally injure a security guard, and find themselves on the run from the police.

Chasing Home
Director: Christopher Mills
Year: 2026
A British-Mexican comedy, the first one of its kind in terms of representation, about identity, family dynamics, and the relentless pressure to “have it all together” by your 30s. The film explores the universal themes of self-worth, envy, and societal expectations, while asking a core question: What makes someone a failure in the eyes of themselves and others? At its heart, this is the story of Camila, a 30-year-old British-Mexican comic book creator whose life is spiralling out of control. As she faces a job loss, mounting financial pressure, and the revelation that her 51-year-old mother is unexpectedly pregnant, Camila's desperation grows. She’s torn between familial obligations and her own dreams of independence, symbolised by a flat she can no longer afford. Her personal journey is a chaotic and sometimes humorous collision of cultural expectations, family dysfunction, and her own insecurities.
