Journey Toward My Sister

Synopsis

Two women, one from the African Diaspora, the other from the East Asian Diaspora, recall the risk, and fearless endeavour made on their behalf.

Under Heaven's Eyes - 'The Systemic and Systematic Unjustified Killings of Black Lives' Under Heaven's Eyes - 'The Systemic and Systematic Unjustified Killings of Black Lives'

Director: Christopher Anthony Tajah

Year: 2021

Did George Floyd's killing mark a turning point for change or false dawn? Despite the global outcry, US Police continue instigating indiscriminate violence against Black communities. Is there a parallel history of structural racism in Britain? Since watching George's viral footage, Black Britain, Michael's mind has been thrown into freefall.

A young black man is shown running across an outdoor basketball court An Unimaginable Leap

Director: Hope Pearl Strickland

Year: 2026

St, Mary’s Parish, Jamaica, April 1760, in a cave near what is now known as Tacky Falls, Tacky’s Rebellion is unfolding as the most significant revolt of the eighteenth-century in the Caribbean, three decades before the Haitian Revolution. AN UNIMAGINABLE LEAP traverses loosely associated events and places: 16mm footage of daily life in contemporary Jamaica; caves as portals; and a celebration of Jamaican Independence Day at a cricket club in Manchester. Moments of respite and celebration are negotiated alongside the threat of ecological degradation and bauxite mining, in order to consider the relationship between revolutionary time, the climate emergency and cinematic form.

Band playing on stage The Public

Director: Asa Gartland

Year: 2026

The Public have just played the best gig of their lives, and for the first time, someone in a suit is interested. It feels like the moment they have been waiting for, but celebrations quickly descend into chaos. Andy, the band's quiet and devoted guitarist, watches as his dream begins to dissolve around him. A chain reaction is set in motion as secrets are exposed, loyalties shift, and buried tensions explode to the surface. As the night spirals further out of control, the frontman, Ted, is pulled toward a future that could take him away for good. Andy becomes desperate to save Ted from himself and hold everything together, even as it becomes clear that some things will never be the same.
