Like Minds

Synopsis

Seventeen-year-old Alex Bennett is young, privileged and charged with the shotgun death of his schoolmate Nigel Colby. With no tangible evidence, the detective on his case is under pressure from Alex's influential father to have the charges dropped. A forensic psychologist, Sally Rowe, is brought in to determine if Alex is the murderer. Delving deeply into Alex and Nigel's bizarre world of psychopathic mind games and the secret society of the Knights Templar, Sally discovers that though dead, Nigel's psychological effect on Alex is far from diminished. In true 'Gestalt' fashion, two minds may well have become one.

Denzel Baidoo as Marcus, forlorn at the dinner table. Clocks

Director: Yv Shells

Year: 2026

When Arlo arrives to find Marcus has cooked someone else’s favourite meal, a single question begins to unravel an evening that refuses to stay in the present. Through a fractured timeline set entirely within one dining room, we move between Marcus and Arlo and the relationship that came before, with Una, the woman he met at a late-night bus stop and once talked about marrying. The same table, the same chairs, the same arguments about trust, honesty and what it means to truly see someone. As the timelines bleed together, it becomes clear that Marcus has never fully left the past, and that Una’s ghost sits at every table he sets. When Arlo asks what her own favourite meal is and he cannot answer, the film’s quiet devastation lands completely. CLOCKS is a portrait of a man who loves generously but sees poorly, and the women who carry the cost. It asks what we owe the person in front of us while we are still in love with someone we lost, and whether a feeling ever truly ends.
