The tide is slowly coming in and Finn, a worthless low-rent hood, has been dropped on an isolated beach, his feet set in concrete.

Automaton Automaton

Director: William Sinclair

Year: 2007

Karl uses a form of electronic telepathy to spy on his ex-lover, Sarah. Her apartment block is remote, badly lit and in a state of redevelopment. Karl ensconces himself outside in the shadows and uses a radio device to scan the cerebral bandwidth of those in the block until he painfully tunes into Sarah's mind. When he finds her with Paul he uses his electronic puppetry to force her to kill this new lover. Unable to live with murder, Sarah commits suicide whilst Karl, with the telepathic link still intact, experiences a digital first person perspective of what it is to die. Automaton is a contemporary re-imagining of Classic Horror, which digitally plots the path of a marked and maddened Peeping Tom.

A young man, sits alone in a cafe, deep in thought. A bouquet of disregarded roses in front of him. The Game

Director: Blaize Mott

Year: 2026

Donald, a lonely young man desperate to improve his dating life, hires a manipulative pick-up artist, Charles, to teach him how to meet and attract women. Over the course of one night in London, Donald is pulled into a world of performance, pressure and control, where confidence becomes coercion and desire begins to blur with power. What began as a harmless lesson on love transforms into a night where the methods he is instructed to use to achieve his goal are far darker than he could have ever imagined.
