One More Kiss

Synopsis

An emotionally charged yet quiet film about an old couple going their separate ways. After a 50 year roller-coaster relationship fuelled by love, hate, and accusations of infidelity, now magnified by the filmmaker’s Grandmother’s obsession with the past, his Grandfather has reluctantly decided he can no longer cope with the continual verbal abuse and constant attention she requires. They will part: Taki leaving for Cyprus, whilst Tina is being prepared for a nursing home. One More Kiss is a film about a pivotal point of decision in the lives of two colourfully rich characters and explores the substance of love and the overriding consequences of age, migration and illness. It delves into the existential realities of the tragic nature of all relations and ultimately love. A minimalist and intensely moving look at old age - filled with moments of beauty, sadness and humour.

Spacewoman Spacewoman

Director: Hannah Berryman

Year: 2024

A landmark feature documentary about astronaut Eileen Collins, the first woman to pilot and command the Space Shuttle. Eileen’s incredible journey starts with her smalltown beginnings, sees her smash through many glass ceilings, and culminates in four dramatic space shuttle missions, the last being possibly the most dangerous and most important of them all. At its heart the film is the moving human drama of one family, where a mother’s extraordinary career takes us straight to the big philosophical question of what is the level of acceptable risk in human endeavour? This film celebrates Commander Collins’ trailblazing NASA career which opened the way for women to become spacecraft pilots and commanders, and proved a perfect riposte to a previous generation of male astronauts who thought there was no place for women to lead the way in space.

Elegy for the Lost Elegy for the Lost

Director: William Hong-xiao Wei

Year: 2025

Through the psychoanalytic and introspective voiceover of a young post-pandemic Chinese migrant in Europe, the film interweaves her private memories of intimacy with public narratives of resistance. As her reflections unfold, she and her community navigate secrecy, repression, survival, looming precarity, and displacement, all while confronting the personal cost of existing in a world that demands their silence.

Monsters Monsters

Director: Andy Field, Beckie Darlington

Year: 2025

Created in collaboration with local children in one of the most environmentally fragile areas of the UK, this experimental documentary repurposes the tropes of Hollywood monster movies to explore young people’s real feelings and fears through an imaginary framework. This fantasy apocalypse becomes a safe space for the children to reflect on adaptation, resilience and an uncertain future.
