Gentle, Angry Women
Synopsis
Fast forward to now, and 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐀𝐧𝐠𝐫𝐲 𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧 tells this story through the eyes of a new generation of young activists as they retrace the footsteps of the original protesters.
Unaware of the longest female-led campaign in British history, a new generation of young female activists is standing up to fight for the issues of their time, as well as being teenagers and finding their place in a turbulent world.
Meet three fearless young women, Poppy (16), Xanthe (17), and Evie (19) who embark on a 110-mile 40th anniversary march to retrace the footsteps of Greenham Common's pioneering female protesters.
Through powerful intergenerational exchanges with their activist counterparts, the film reveals a journey of self-discovery and a timely narrative of feminist activism. As nuclear tensions rise globally, their story becomes urgently relevant for today.
A coming-of-age documentary that sparks conversations about hope, action and change.

Restless Sea
Director: Alex Nevill
Year:
Temperatures rise, oceans acidify, storms roll in, coast lines shimmer and degrade. Stories bubble up, mythology, folklore, tales of a perilous sea, communal rituals for protection and harmony with nature. RESTLESS SEA is an immersive installation exploring climate resilience in coastal Hebridean communities, a chain of islands west of Scotland.
Landscapes of Shame
Director: Patrick Hough
Year: 2026
Filmmaker Patrick Hough journeys through the haunted landscapes of Ireland, where colonial violence, ecological loss and queer desire remain inscribed in the land. Moving between forests, mountains, archives and cruising grounds, the film traces the extinction of the Irish grey wolf alongside the cultural suppression that followed Cromwellian conquest of Ireland. Fragments of history surface through objects and places: a death mask of Oliver Cromwell, medieval myths of werewolves, maps drawn to measure and divide conquered territory, and landscapes where wolves were once hunted to disappearance. These materials are interwoven with contemporary nocturnal scenes of queer gathering and protest, where shame gives way to transformation, pleasure and resistance. Blending essay film, documentary and poetic fiction, LANDSCAPES OF SHAME asks how violence survives in landscapes, language and bodies - and what forms of wildness still remain.

Bermuda Riots Are Different
Director: Alyson Thompson, Matt Mead
Year: 2026
Bermuda, April 1968: once again a White US college student is crowned queen of the annual floral pageant, the greatest spectacle on the island home of the Easter Lilly. Hours later a race riot breaks out. The city burns. Across a decade of civil disturbances, encompassing assassinations and the last executions in the British Empire, BERMUDA RIOTS ARE DIFFERENT re-evaluates this contested history with the archival voices of Black Bermudian eyewitnesses.
