The Pigs Underneath
Director: Charlie Dennis
Year: 2025
Residents from a tight-knit working class town are forced to meet a brutal quota just to survive. If they fail to meet it - they are punished with something far worse than death. This film offers a heightened approach on a widening gap between those who have unchecked power and increasing greed - and the struggling many. Socioeconomic exploitation and systemic class oppression. Official Selection Toronto International Film Festival 2025 Official Selection Tampere Film Festival 2026
Fishguts
Director: Robyn Egan
Year: 2026
Wren is interviewed for a job at Brixham Fish Market. Gary shows her around and tells her to come back tomorrow, for the night shift. A few hours into the shift and Wren is flagging, she enjoys a moment of calm whilst smoking outside - until she is confronted with Cali, who wants a lighter and a chat. The next few nights, sleepless days and awkward interactions blur into each other until Cali greets Wren with a coffee and cigarette for the usual 2am slump. Wren is disgusted when realising Cali has spiked her coffee with brandy. Steph shows Wren how to fillet. Cali rushes to help, standing behind Wren, he places his hands on hers.Wren shrinks down, motionless, allowing Cali to puppeteer her, forcing his groin into her from behind. Wren empties her locker, she’s not coming back. She leaves, only to find Cali waiting for her, unbuckling his belt. Wren waits until his trousers are down, walks over to him, without breaking eye contact and guts Cali like a fish. She makes use of the “Monster Industrial Chum Grinder”, to dismember Cali’s body, discarding the chum into the sea at sunrise. She gracefully enters the sea herself, cleansed.
