Lunatic
Synopsis
Bill and Perry, the brothers, are small time entrepreneurs. Howard, Dave and Laurie are their partners. The chaps get the bulk of their money from collecting rents on ex-council properties that they acquire through a scam.
The main character of the story ‘Bill’ takes the viewer through two days of events that he persistently blames upon an impending full moon.
With tender-sweet moments of love, laughter and south London banter, entrepreneurs, sidekicks, wives, lovers and friends push the film towards its conclusion of revenge with wonderful street humour and colour.
Infidelity, betrayal, suicide and murder crash onto the screen with an authenticity rarely witnessed.

Year: 2026

A Time Before
Director: Leo Metcalf
Year: 2024
Olly sifts through his memories searching to understand why he is the way he is. The narrative swings between two contrasting worlds: his memories of his first years, captured by his childhood drawings, and surreal underwater live-action scenes representing his dreams. We witness fragmented memories of a torn family - an abusive father, a mother whose memory seems faded, and a sister, Sally, encouraging her little brother to escape through imagination and dreams. As memory and fantasy blur, The Time Before becomes a meditation on the stories we tell ourselves to survive, and what is lost in the telling. Official Selection Aesthetica Film Festival 2024
