I See Buildings Fall Like Lightning
Director: Clio Barnard
Year: 2025
Five friends. Five lives. Countless hopes.<br /> Patrick, Shiv, Rian, Oli and Conor grew up together. They played together, skipped school together, and dreamt of everything they’d do with their lives. Now they’re thirty and those dreams haven’t materialised quite how they imagined. Patrick and Shiv are as in love as ever, but their relationship is rocked when an old secret opens up new wounds. Charismatic Oli, always the life and soul, is partying too hard and is fading by the day. Conor has a baby on the way and a business plan that could change everything. Only Rian has escaped the estate, made a lot of money and moved to another city, but even that hasn’t helped him move on from the past.
Ali and Ava
Director: Clio Barnard
Year: 2021
Both lonely for different reasons, Ali and Ava meet through their shared affection for Sofia, the child of Ali’s Slovakian tenants, whom Ava teaches. Ali finds comfort in Ava’s warmth and kindness and Ava finds Ali’s complexity and humour irresistible. Over a lunar month, sparks fly and a deep connection begins to grow. However, the legacy of Ava’s past relationship and Ali’s emotional turmoil at the breakdown of his marriage begins to overshadow their newfound passion. <br /> Enveloped in music and imbued with humour, ALI AND AVA is a compelling contemporary love story written and directed by BAFTA-nominated Clio Barnard (THE ARBOR, THE SELFISH GIANT, DARK RIVER).<br /> Official Selection Cannes Film Festival 2021 - Directors' Fortnight - World premiere<br /> Official Selection BFI London Film Festival 2021 - Special Presentation
