Once There Was A Girl
Synopsis
David bets he can't. Jack wages his own life, against everything David owns; including a mysterious bag the contents of which, they refuse to discuss. Neither Jack nor David intend to go through with the bet, and both independently hire Vincent to help them to con the other. Vincent decides he will con them both, and hires Gudinski to help, but Gudinski is far more dangerous than he seems. They all get more than they bargained for.
The whole story is told in flashback by Jack to Amanda, on the last day when he pleads for her help. Each act is organised by character rather than chronology, resulting in very non linear film.

No Women No Children
Director: Akporé Uzoh
Year: 2025
The aftermath of a sexual assault (rape). Exploring the deep-felt consequences for all involved. At its heart an epic story of a couple's fight for the survival of their love.
The Wilding
Director: Adam Park
Year:
Told through leaked footage compiled by a whistle-blower, the film follows Emma and Richard, a couple thrust into the wilderness to survive for 100 days. Their confidence quickly turns to terror as a malevolent creature begins stalking them, ultimately killing Richard in a gruesome attack. Emma escapes and infiltrates the facility where the show's creators review their "progress." There, she discovers the chilling truth: the creature is part of their unholy science. With the odds stacked against her, Emma turns the tables - delivering brutal justice with unexpected aid from the very horror that was meant to destroy her. A darkly satirical blend of horror, sci-fi, and mockumentary, THE WILDING exposes the monstrous extremes the powerful will go to cheat death - and the human cost of their ambition.
