Shingetsu

Synopsis

A man and woman meet, thrown together by chance - or fate. Slowly, painfully, they discover they survived the same battlefield - from opposite ends of experience.
The sun rises, the moon sets.
Can the terrible damage of war can be healed?
"The enlightened soul
Like the moon
Casts its light on all." (Chinese poem, anonymous)

No Women No Children No Women No Children

Out of focus man in a rundown kitchen Burnt Toast

Director: Helen Anna Flanagan

Year: 2025

Burnt Toast is a contemporary ghost story that resurrects legendary British comedian Tommy Cooper, who famously died mid-performance in 1984. Blending machine learning, VHS footage, archival materials, and a trained impersonator, the film follows Phil, an unemployed magician trapped in the decaying home of the director’s late schizophrenic uncle. Phil’s hallucinatory act navigates the alienation of late capitalism, touching on social class, identity, mental health, and delusion—all punctuated by his trademark jokes and failed magic tricks.

Girl in blue bathing suit in a swimming pool floating underwater Deeply, Madly

Director: Helen Anna Flanagan

Year: 2022

A woman muses on what it is to fall. To fall flat, heavily in love, deep into sleep, or into a holiday pool that time on a faraway Greek Island at 2am. Waves keep crashing, summoning Deeply, Madly as an obsession with moments of being mid-motion — bodies, emotions and time that all succumb to gravitational forces.
