Strawberry Fields
Director: Frances Lea
Year: 2011
A classic love triangle of two sisters, a story of sibling rivalry and the man that comes between them. Gillian cycles away from her old life, changes her name and gets a job picking fruit. Gorgeous bad boy Kev pops a strawberry in her mouth and suddenly anything seems possible. Sister Emily tracks her down and reminds her who she really is and how she must be. Emily is used to having her own way but for once Gillian decides to fight back and a battle of will ensues. Strawberry Fields takes the play 'A Streetcar Named Desire' as its starting point, this time told from Stella’s point of view. Complex entanglements and the destructive, manipulative games of a jealous sister makes Strawberry Fields an unsettling rites of passage film, bursting with energy, sex, humour and dark turns.
The Scarlet Tunic
Director: Stuart St Paul
Year: 1998
In nineteenth century rural England, a German hussar serving with King George III's personal cavalry, Matthaus Singer, falls madly in love with Frances Groves, the only daughter of a West Country solicitor. Based on the short story 'The Melancholy Hussar' by Thomas Hardy
Marriage Test
Director: Sara Nourizadeh
Year: 2026
Set in a mosque waiting room in 1980s South Wales, and inspired by the true story of writer-director Sara Nourizadeh's parents, a young couple whose relationship crossed boundaries of culture, faith and expectation. At a time when Iranian politics dominated UK headlines and shaped public attitudes, a Welsh woman and her Iranian fiancé prepare for an Islamic conversion ceremony – a requirement they must fulfil if they are to marry. What follows is a quietly charged and emotionally intimate portrait of two people trying to navigate a moment that is both deeply personal and subtly political. As they wait for the ceremony to begin, small details – a trembling hand, a whispered joke, a fleeting moment of doubt – reveal the emotional stakes beneath the surface. Their conversation dances between humour and tension, affection and uncertainty, reflecting the push and pull of family pressures, cultural misunderstandings, and their own hopes for the future. Authentic VHS archive footage of the real couple is interwoven within this scripted drama, grounding the film in lived experience and offering an unexpectedly tender glimpse into the decades that followed.
