Let's Dance Again

Synopsis

LET’S DANCE AGAIN is a short film which revolves around William, an Alzheimer’s patient, and Esme, his carer. It occurs over one day - the day they first meet. William is a very charming, caring and funny character, but due to his Alzheimer’s, he can become very anxious. When he has an anxiety attack, William becomes the complete opposite person, he becomes lost in his own home and doesn’t recognise anyone, even family.
Esme is new to caring and due to being William’s niece she wants to care for him as best she can. But due to her naivety she doesn’t always do the best for William and sometimes makes situations worse. Esme learns that William isn’t as capable as she thought and creates a bond with him when they discuss his past in his jazz band.
When the pair talk about William’s musical past, he becomes his usual self, and they bond more than ever. Esme decides that playing jazz music will increase William’s memory of his past and they end up dancing together, having a nice time and agree they need each other.

Director: Blaize Mott

Year: 2026

Donald, a lonely young man desperate to improve his dating life, hires a manipulative pick-up artist, Charles, to teach him how to meet and attract women. Over the course of one night in London, Donald is pulled into a world of performance, pressure and control, where confidence becomes coercion and desire begins to blur with power. What began as a harmless lesson on love transforms into a night where the methods he is instructed to use to achieve his goal are far darker than he could have ever imagined.

Ken Russell's The Devils Ken Russell's The Devils

Director: Ken Russell

Year: 1971

A dramatized historical account of the rise and fall of Urbain Grandier, a 17th-century Roman Catholic priest accused of witchcraft following the supposed possessions in Loudun, France; it also focuses on Sister Jeanne des Anges, a sexually repressed nun who inadvertently incites the accusations. An enduring masterpiece of cinema, KEN RUSSELL’S THE DEVILS is a prescient epic of obsession and corruption – and a defining work of art from seminal filmmaker Ken Russell. Assembled from the original camera negative, this new 4K restoration presents Ken Russell’s definitive vision of THE DEVILS by referencing the edit he privately constructed in 2004. KEN RUSSELL’S THE DEVILS is the uncut and unfiltered theatrical experience that Russell always envisioned.
