Last House on CCTV Last House on CCTV

Director: Craig Andrew Robertson

Year: 2020

Kim has found the perfect new home, except for one detail: the basement - and the psychotic realter who wants to keep her locked in it. Her husband is blissfully unaware of the evils that lurk in that house, and he's due to arrive at any minute now.

The image shows two people, a man sat down at a table and a woman leaning on the table looking straight at him. Arthur & Clara

Director: Kieran Bourne

Year: 2026

Arthur, a Black filmmaker struggling with his sense of identity and external expectations, retreats to a remote farmhouse with seven days left to finish his script. His solitude is quickly interrupted by Clara, a high-profile actress on the run from her press tour, seeking an escape from a life defined by words on a page. Searching for distance from the pressures that have led them here, Arthur and Clara initially resist one another. But as their fragile egos attempt to connect, their shared vulnerability leads them on an accidental journey of self-discovery, revealing what it truly means to be seen. Set against the quiet isolation of the British countryside, Arthur & Clara is an intimate exploration of identity and genuine connection. This is not a story about two people finding each other, but about two people finding themselves. Official Selection, Austin Film Festival 2026 - WORLD PREMIERE
