Project Detail

Just One More Night

Synopsis

It features an aging performer towards the end of her life. The story is told through the lyrics of her song. She is dragging herself around the country, performing her show wherever she can get a booking - to quote from the song - 'Well fame alone won't pay the bills'. It is a poignant tribute to fading celebrity. The performer is watched by members of the audience and those working in the theatre where she appears. Although it is an effort, she can still come alive on stage.

The Scarlet Tunic The Scarlet Tunic

Director: Stuart St Paul

Year: 1998

A smartly dressed woman and man sit side by side in a waiting  room, sharing a quiet smile. Marriage Test

Director: Sara Nourizadeh

Year: 2026

Set in a mosque waiting room in 1980s South Wales, and inspired by the true story of writer-director Sara Nourizadeh's parents, a young couple whose relationship crossed boundaries of culture, faith and expectation. At a time when Iranian politics dominated UK headlines and shaped public attitudes, a Welsh woman and her Iranian fiancé prepare for an Islamic conversion ceremony – a requirement they must fulfil if they are to marry. What follows is a quietly charged and emotionally intimate portrait of two people trying to navigate a moment that is both deeply personal and subtly political. As they wait for the ceremony to begin, small details – a trembling hand, a whispered joke, a fleeting moment of doubt – reveal the emotional stakes beneath the surface. Their conversation dances between humour and tension, affection and uncertainty, reflecting the push and pull of family pressures, cultural misunderstandings, and their own hopes for the future. Authentic VHS archive footage of the real couple is interwoven within this scripted drama, grounding the film in lived experience and offering an unexpectedly tender glimpse into the decades that followed.
