In a world where blood and memory intertwine, a seasoned sensei discovers an ancient bracelet said to defy death itself. Desperate for vengeance against his wise brother now a leader who has overshadowed him. The Sensei performs a forbidden ritual to revive two fallen warriors: a pair of blood brothers whose bond was once unbreakable. But when they return, their memories are fractured. They don't recognize each other, their loyalty is uncertain, and the sensei finds himself caught in a storm of violence, betrayal, and confusion. As the brothers show threats of clash in combat, the sensei must make the impossible choice: which of the two will stand by his side to bring down his own flesh and blood. Every strike draws him closer to his revenge, yet every drop of blood reminds him of the cost. In the end, vengeance may come not only with the death of his brother but with the death of the very family he tried to control. A bloody, action-packed short film of fractured brotherhood, haunting memories, and the heavy price of revenge.

Long-lost siblings meet for dinner. They end the night in drag. By sunrise, a shocking revelation tests the limits of love and acceptance. PAPER CUT is a debut feature from queer British writer-director Jack Sain. Alex has just found Alice - the birth sister he never knew existed - living four tube stops away. He invites her and her boyfriend over for dinner at the comfortable London home he shares with his boyfriend Sasha. Everyone is on their best behaviour. Everyone has rehearsed. By midnight, all four of them are in drag at a queer nightclub. By 5am, something comes to light that none of them can take back. The film puts social satire through an experimental lens, with a propulsive original score and formally adventurous set pieces, including a split-screen sequence. It asks what happens when people who pride themselves on openness are confronted with something they cannot absorb. The cast includes legendary trans actress Adèle Anderson, Olivier Award nominee and longtime member of cabaret trio Fascinating Aïda, and Barney White of ITV's Professor T - pairing established stage and screen talent with brilliant newcomers.
