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.

Director: Juan Pablo Bedoya

Santo is a respected religious clockmaker and moneylender in his village. He exploits families in debt by using charm and kindness. When they cannot repay him, he persuades them to send their underage daughters to work as maids to pay off the debt. Ultimately, he sexually enslaves them and throws them out on the street when they become pregnant. His latest victim is Cira, an 11-year-old blackberry picker whose mother has pawned their home and land. After Santo's death, Maria Luisa, one of his victims, with the help of Fernando, his childhood friend and lawyer, fights for justice. After a long court battle, justice has finally been served, but not for everyone. Based on a real story.
