Naked August
Synopsis
Starring in the lead roles are two young graduates from the Bristol Old Vic, Sophie Clarke and Adam Penny.
Shot on digital video in February and March this year in Bristol, the film, which has been blown up to 35mm, was produced by Parrallel Pictures, the company founded in 1993 by Iain Brown and Bill Chamberlain. Says Chamberlain: 'The film is very much in the European arthouse tradition, in terms of its themes and its style. Although it deals with quite downbeat issues of alienation and malaise, it's a very uplifting film.'

(Past Present Future) Imperfect
Director: Roger Thorp
Year: 2005
Nathan has been travelling for nine months following university. He returns home to the depths of Devon with his beautiful girlfriend, Chrissie, with whom he is obviously in love. However, although his return is eagerly anticipated by his class-conscious family (and particularly father), what they do not know is that Chrissie is black. (Past Present Future) Imperfect explores the clash between new liberal Britain and old-England, where beauty is only skin deep. This is the second feature from Bristol-based writer/producer Guy de Beaujeu (Living in Hope). He has teamed up with director Roger Thorp to create a dark family drama that will amuse and distress in equal measure. (Past Present Future) Imperfect is a muti-layered film that stars a selection of the best of British acting talent.

The Game
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.
