Director: Marcus Flemmings

Year: 2026

In a near-future Britain that has deported all “non-British” people, a timid teenage boy hides the last Black woman in the country - then risks everything by bringing her to sing a well-known 2000’s RnB song at his 2000’s RnB-loving fascist father’s wake.

Director: Juan Pablo Bedoya

Year: 2026

Santo is a respected religious clockmaker and moneylender in his village. He exploits families in debt by using charm and kindness. When they cannot repay him, he persuades them to send their underage daughters to work as maids to pay off the debt. Ultimately, he sexually enslaves them and throws them out on the street when they become pregnant. His latest victim is Cira, an 11-year-old blackberry picker whose mother has pawned their home and land. After Santo's death, Maria Luisa, one of his victims, with the help of Fernando, his childhood friend and lawyer, fights for justice. After a long court battle, justice has finally been served, but not for everyone. Based on a real story.
