Synopsis

London, 1888. The West End bourgeoisie revel in gossip whilst the East End is plagued with the terror of a new threat; Jack the Ripper.

Amongst the chaos and misinformation of the newspapers, an all-ladies ghost-hunting society has arisen. Their sole mission is to prove the papers wrong; to alert the public that the murderer is no man, but a monster.

But the women are not alone. Tamworth, a friend of one of the society members, Minnie, has recently manipulated and adapted a pinhole camera to record moving images.

The society welcomes him in as their documentarian, their captor of ‘proof’ to support their claims.

As we follow the women through a tumultuous series of seances, ghost hunts and murders, we become aware that Tamworth’s intentions are far more sinister than what they first seemed.

Virginia Wool's Night & Day Virginia Woolf's Night & Day

Director: Tina Gharavi

Year:

Based on Virginia Woolf’s funniest novel, NIGHT AND DAY is an un-romantic comedy about a passionate astronomer Katharine Hilbery who does everything she can to avoid romantic love and marriage. Fun and contemporary in tone, this refreshing film showcases an ensemble of humourous performances against the ravishing backdrop of London in 1910, advances in science and technology and crumbling Edwardian patriarchy. Virginia’s story is as relevant to today as it ever was: women balancing romantic love with careers!

A Visit to Grandpa’s A Visit to Grandpa’s

Director: DJ Caruso

Year:

A VIST TO GRANDPA'S is a whimsical, heart-stirring tale based on Dylan Thomas’s classic short story. When a lonely boy is sent to spend the summer with his wildly eccentric grandfather in the countryside, he expects boredom but finds magic instead. Grandpa is nothing like he imagined: impulsive, outrageous, and full of mysterious stories that blur fact and fantasy. As the days stretch on, mischief turns to meaning, and their unexpected bond becomes a lifeline for them both. With Hopkins set to deliver a career- defining performance, this is a funny and deeply moving journey through memory, imagination and the strange magic of family.
