Nothing Compares
Director: Kathryn Ferguson
Year: 2022
NOTHING COMPARES is the story of Sinéad O’Connor’s phenomenal rise to worldwide fame, and how her iconoclastic personality would result in her exile from the pop mainstream. Focusing on her prophetic and challenging behaviour from 1987 to 1993, the film reflects on the legacy of this fearless trailblazer, through a contemporary feminist lens.

Life Is 4 ½ Metres
Director: Jeevan Singh
Year: 2026
A coming-of-age drama exploring identity, faith and belonging. What begins as an internal conflict develops into an emotional journey that forces the central character to confront what his faith, family and heritage truly mean to him. Inspired by true events, Life Is 4½ Metres is an intimate and heartfelt story about growing up, the bonds between father and son, and the quiet struggles that can shape a young person’s identity. At its heart, the film explores how the traditions we sometimes question can ultimately become the things that connect us most deeply to who we are.
The Lost Princess of Hackney
Director: Fenton Dyer
Year: 2026
A self-proclaimed Elvish Princess finds herself stranded on our world in the Hackney Marshes. Without any magic to return home, she searches for purpose but develops an unlikely friendship with a sceptical student filmmaker.
