The Family Portrait The Family Portrait

Director: Waris Islam

Year: 2006

Abdul is desperate for the perfect family portrait. All he wants is to capture one moment in time when his family appear happy with his new wife, Michelle; even if it is just a 35th of a second.

a fish passing between two pairs of hands the thought of the innermost being

Director: Jack Jeffreys

Year: 2026

Fish are nightly invaders of my sleep. Work consumes my dreams. Night gives way to another commute; adverts appear before me, their faces drawn tight. The day passes again, and at night, within the walls of my workplace, a fishmonger’s in London, dreams appear again, this time, a grief-stricken reverie, memories of my father. The film's title is inspired by Maurice Blanchot’s ‘The Book to Come’ which incited my exploration of whether images can capture anything sacred in a world of dispossession. A diaristic, psychogeographic journey through a city that metastasises uncontrollably before me, the film captures a form of alienation that supersedes and confounds the trajectory of grief.

Two men sit side by side in a cinema facing forward VisionQuest

Director: Christopher J. Byrne, Gandja Monteiro, Vincenzo Natali, Terry Matalas

Year: 2026

Marvel Television’s VISIONQUEST is an all-new original series screening on Disney+, which concludes the epic trilogy that began with 2021’s ground-breaking, award-winning WANDAVISION and 2024’s acclaimed AGATHA ALL ALONG. Vision, rebooted and having escaped from those who sought to weaponise him, has been in hiding. Searching for new meaning, he consults the AI personas embedded in his programming, including Friday, Edith, Jarvis, and the infamous Ultron. His discreet existence ends when a bounty placed on his head thrusts him on the run with Thomas Shepard, a mysterious boy who may be Vision’s son, reincarnate. As Vision evades capture, he must confront his nature, resist Ultron's influence, and unravel the enigma that is his young companion if he’s to survive. VISIONQUEST is created for television by Terry Matalas, based on the Marvel Comics. Official Selection BFI London Film Festival Official Selection 2026
