The Last Days of Rabbit Hayes
Synopsis
We meet Rabbit entering a hospice, still refusing to accept her fate, and backed by her family who are determined to save her against all odds. But as the days pass, Rabbit learns to focus on and embrace the present whilst those around her grieve, fight, love and lose. It’s Rabbit’s time to say goodbye and as she slips in and out of consciousness she relives her youth and the short time she got to spend with Johnny Faye, her brother’s best friend, the singer in his band and the love of her life. As she disappears in front of them, Rabbit’s friends and family are forced to reflect on their own lives whilst fighting one another for the right to care for Juliet. But faced with the loss of the only parent she’s ever known, Juliet has her own ideas.

Arthur & Clara
Director: Kieran Bourne
Year: 2026
Arthur, a Black filmmaker struggling with his sense of identity and external expectations, retreats to a remote farmhouse with seven days left to finish his script. His solitude is quickly interrupted by Clara, a high-profile actress on the run from her press tour, seeking an escape from a life defined by words on a page. Searching for distance from the pressures that have led them here, Arthur and Clara initially resist one another. But as their fragile egos attempt to connect, their shared vulnerability leads them on an accidental journey of self-discovery, revealing what it truly means to be seen. Set against the quiet isolation of the British countryside, Arthur & Clara is an intimate exploration of identity and genuine connection. This is not a story about two people finding each other, but about two people finding themselves. Official Selection, Austin Film Festival 2026 - WORLD PREMIERE
