Synopsis
Energy and excitement are high. But when Derek discovers that his closest training partner – Cain - is in his opponent’s locker room, it triggers a series of catastrophic and self-destructive events both mentally and physically. Soon Derek is questioning himself and those around him and they, in turn, are questioning if he’ll even make it to the ring tonight. Or if he would even be fit to fight…
With first bell approaching, and ever lowering odds, the team must work hard to help Derek shed the heavy weights that are holding him back from becoming both a champion and the man that he deserves to be. Official Selection Raindance Film Festival 2025 - World premiere

No Women No Children
Director: Akporé Uzoh
Year: 2025
The aftermath of a sexual assault (rape). Exploring the deep-felt consequences for all involved. At its heart an epic story of a couple's fight for the survival of their love.
The Wilding
Director: Adam Park
Year:
Told through leaked footage compiled by a whistle-blower, the film follows Emma and Richard, a couple thrust into the wilderness to survive for 100 days. Their confidence quickly turns to terror as a malevolent creature begins stalking them, ultimately killing Richard in a gruesome attack. Emma escapes and infiltrates the facility where the show's creators review their "progress." There, she discovers the chilling truth: the creature is part of their unholy science. With the odds stacked against her, Emma turns the tables - delivering brutal justice with unexpected aid from the very horror that was meant to destroy her. A darkly satirical blend of horror, sci-fi, and mockumentary, THE WILDING exposes the monstrous extremes the powerful will go to cheat death - and the human cost of their ambition.
