A Legacy of Sound
Director: Anne-Marie Michel
Year: 2025
A filmmaker turns the lens on her 95-year-old great uncle, an elderly Englishman determined to leave something meaningful behind. Sparked by a friend’s quiet regret, he begins a deeply personal journey through memory, faith, and sound. As his vision unfolds, the film becomes an intimate meditation on legacy and the invisible threads that connect generations - inviting us to listen closely to what we leave behind and what truly endures.
Juan
Director: Callum O'Keefe
Year: 2026
Juan Lozano, a successful Elvis impersonator from Merthyr Tydfil, pushed his dedication to the limit by undergoing numerous surgeries to more closely resemble his idol. One of these surgeries has left him nearly blind, leading to the difficult decision to retire his Elvis show. As Juan prepares for his last performance as The King, he reflects on his remarkable 20-year career, celebrating the highs and facing the sacrifices made. Now, entering his twilight years, Juan is determined to step out of Elvis's shadow and rediscover his true self. After years of writing his own songs, he’s now ready to be recognised as an artist in his own right. Set against the backdrop of the Welsh valleys, this hopeful film explores themes of identity, the destructive pursuit of perfection, and the resilience found in living with a life-altering disability.
Cotswolds: Field and Folk
Director: Tea Smart
Year: 2026
Set in the rolling landscapes of the Cotswolds, a documentary exploring the lives, challenges, and traditions of the farmers who shape this iconic countryside. Through intimate conversations with a new generation and those who have worked the land for decades, the film reveals how farming families are navigating change - from shifting economics and environmental pressures to evolving ideas about land stewardship and community. Rooted in place and guided by the voices of those who live it every day, the documentary offers a rare, personal portrait of modern rural Britain and the people working to sustain both land and livelihood for the future.
