Field of Fish

Synopsis

Tom Maynard (narrated by Ian Holm) reflects back on his childhood memory as leader of the Witchey Eye gang - they kept an eye on the village - but when the eccentric Mr Jeremiah Joliff, a reclusive fisherman who had never left his boat since it was laid up in a field overlooking the sea, returns from 'a rest up in Bodmin', curiosity gets the better of them and they embark on an adventure that none of them have ever forgotten.

Drama

Black Church Bay

Director: Rhys Marc Jones

Year: 2026

In a remote Welsh coastal village, the disappearance of an openly-gay sixth form student disrupts the delicate balance of local life for one deputy head teacher, exposing long-buried secrets and threatening to tear the community apart.

Drama

A Time Before

Director: Leo Metcalf

Year: 2024

Olly sifts through his memories searching to understand why he is the way he is. The narrative swings between two contrasting worlds: his memories of his first years, captured by his childhood drawings, and surreal underwater live-action scenes representing his dreams. We witness fragmented memories of a torn family - an abusive father, a mother whose memory seems faded, and a sister, Sally, encouraging her little brother to escape through imagination and dreams. As memory and fantasy blur, The Time Before becomes a meditation on the stories we tell ourselves to survive, and what is lost in the telling. Official Selection Aesthetica Film Festival 2024
