Epic, elemental, passionate and tragic, Swept From The Sea is a romantic tale that pitches the mortality of man against the immortality of nature. To the world, Amy Foster is a girl who never smiles, but beneath her passive exterior, there is hidden passion. Amy is a pagan spirit, a collector of gifts from the sea. Her world is irrevocably changed when the sea delivers the most beautiful and most impossible of gifts. Yanko Gooral is an adventurer who has left his Ukrainian homeland in search of a new world - America. When Yanko is washed overboard by a murderous tempest he finds himself a stranger in hostile land. When he crosses the threshold into Amy's world, however, they form a bond too powerful to be broken by the hate and suspicion the ignorant masses of Cornwall rain down on them. Based on the short story by Joseph Conrad, Swept From The Sea tells a powerful and vital story about the transformative power of love and the resiliency of the human heart.

For 14 years, Syrian filmmakers Hasan Kattan and Fadi Al-Halabi have journeyed together through war and storytelling. Their bond was forged on the frontlines of revolution where their cameras recorded terror and hope, laughter and heartbreak – moments that defined a generation. Years later, their story takes an unexpected turn. Confined inside a UK asylum hotel, Hasan and Fadi document a new chapter shaped not by bombs, but by waiting, bureaucracy, and exile. Amid rising anti-refugee hostility, they turn the camera inward exploring friendship and displacement and how filming itself becomes an act of survival when the future is so uncertain.
