Five Leaves Left
Synopsis
This journey, captured in memory and reimagined on screen, becomes a meditation on youth,
longing, and the quiet power of music to shape identity and connection where deeply hidden
vulnerabilities can be shared.
Interwoven with this personal narrative are intimate audio interviews with artists from different
generations who reflect on how Drake’s music shaped their lives and creative paths. Their
insights echo and deepen the emotional terrain of the road trip, creating a layered portrait of
influence, absence, and resonance.

I Only Do Real Things
Director: James Stephen Wright, George Finlay Ramsay
Year: 2020
Following the threefold journey of a rock through distinct layers of reality. June’s the best month, June’s the brightest month isn’t it? June’s the best month, June’s the brightest month isn’t it? June’s the best month, June’s the brightest month isn’t it? With narration from the rock in its mother tongue (usefully subtitled), it plays in the parallel mirror-image universe as hypothesised by a prophetic laminitic Shetland Pony based in Perthshire. Like a stoney Virgil, the rock guides us through its attempts to do only the realest of things.
Free Lyric
Director: Cherish 'Chez' Oteka
Year: 2026
Reliving one of the first viral social media moments in rap culture, when a 17 year old female rapper’s life was turned upside down by admitting to having an orgy, FREE LYRIC explores the experience of online call out culture, gender and consent. With the rise of social media as the backdrop, this film explores the journey of a young woman named Niki who was cancelled before being cancelled was a thing, and how she survived a sex scandal. Official Selection Raindance Film Festival 2026 - World premiere
Beyond the Divide
Director: Imoje Aikhoje
Year: 2025
A Black British activist and a former neo-Nazi sit face to face. In a tense encounter combining direct testimony with dramatic reconstruction, each man is forced to confront what brought him to this point: one radicalised by hate, one shaped by the movement that resists it. Chris Otokito and Nigel Bromage meet for the first time on camera. What unfolds is an unsparing examination of how far-right extremism takes root in Britain and whether dialogue across that divide is possible at all.
