Synopsis

A signal from the other side of the universe is received by a hive-like society. Two scientists, Cane and Eva, are chosen to leave their Home planet and journey many light years to find and colonize the distant world that sent this transmission. As their telepathic connection to Home weakens, they begin to question the morality of the mission and the very meaning of their own existence in the isolation of deep space.

Drama

Black Church Bay

Director: Rhys Marc Jones

Year: 2026

In a remote Welsh coastal village, the disappearance of an openly-gay sixth form student disrupts the delicate balance of local life for one deputy head teacher, exposing long-buried secrets and threatening to tear the community apart.

Drama

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
