Tales of the Fourth Dimension

Synopsis

The Time Master introduces a series of tales about the weird and wonderful things that time can do. Time can send a young, struggling Shakespeare his completed works through a wormhole in space, before he's even written them, and can give Leonardo da Vinci a glimpse into the future.

Time can stop still, to give you the chance of revenge on a scheming enemy, or can repeat itself, so that you have the opportunity to save a friend and turn your life around.

Bad timing can mean that you miss out on the chance of hitting the big time in 1960s Liverpool, or it can put you in the wrong place at the wrong time with terrifying consequences. The impossible becomes possible in the world of the Fourth Dimension.

An elderly man lies in bed Life Goes On

Director: Daniel Audritt, Kat Butterfield

Year: 2026

Bill is ready for the end. The end isn’t ready for him. At 83, confined to a hospice bed, Bill finds himself caught in a cruel and absurd glitch: every time he dies, the day begins again. Trapped in an endless loop of his final day, Bill is forced to relive the same conversations with visitors, the same silences with his daughter, the same missed opportunities—again and again. As frustration turns to reflection, he begins to realise that what’s keeping him here isn’t fate, but something left unresolved. Balancing dark humour with quiet tenderness, the film explores mortality and what it means to truly finish a life - and whether we ever really can. An unexpectedly hopeful, life-affirming story about second chances and the vulnerability it takes to say what really matters—while there’s still time.
