Heidi Slater

Synopsis

'Heidi Slater' a digital suicide-note or a twisted video Manifesto?

I am Heidi Slater (pseudonym) and I present to you my film -'Heidi Slater' which is
MY PERSONAL representation of the tragic events of the 18th of March 2013. I have edited together a collection of footage taken while (I thought) I was shooting a low budget Horror movie, in fact, 'The Director' was shooting something entirely different.

I now take back control of my life by facing my fears and editing this film together.

Heidi Slater.

Savage House Savage House

Director: Peter Glanz

Year: 2026

England, 18th Century. The Savages are at their lowest: they despise each other, their house is falling apart, and they are disliked in polite society - sleeping with their servants, and selling off jewellery to keep their gambling and drinking going. Oh, and Chauncey Savage’s foot might be rotting off. This is until they are set to be visited by higher ranking nobleman. The honour gives them a renewed energy to get new outfits, polish their silver, and hire new help to make sure the House of Savage is looking as impressive as possible.

A young man stares forward, surrounded by darkness, with some passing by distorting one side of his face Fair

Director: Benjamin Turner

Year: 2027

A group of teenage boys become entangled in a series of escalating "games" built around a single rule: don’t flinch. What begins as playful competition gradually shifts into something more controlled, more psychological, and more dangerous. As the boundaries blur, each boy is forced to navigate power, performance, and the pressure to appear unbreakable. FAIR explores how identity is shaped under pressure, and what it takes to hold your ground in a world where showing weakness isn’t an option.
