The Deaths of Ian Stone

Synopsis

Ian Stone is an all-American kid with a great life and a wonderful girlfriend, Jenny Walker. Late one night, while driving home from a painful ice hockey loss, Ian comes across a bewildering discovery; something that looks like a dead body near a railroad crossing.

investigating the grisly discovery, Ian is attacked by the 'corpse', forced onto the tracks and run over by an oncoming train - only to wake up in an office cubicle! He’s still alive and living with a beautiful but eerily mysterious woman called Medea. Jenny is still part of his life, but she’s not his girlfriend, just a co-worker and one of a number of apparently familiar faces surrounding him. That’s when Ian learns he is being hunted. Destined to repeat this cycle, Ian must make sense of his circumstances before his pursuers succeed in killing him again!

The Scarlet Tunic The Scarlet Tunic

Director: Stuart St Paul

Year: 1998

In nineteenth century rural England, a German hussar serving with King George III's personal cavalry, Matthaus Singer, falls madly in love with Frances Groves, the only daughter of a West Country solicitor. Based on the short story 'The Melancholy Hussar' by Thomas Hardy

A smartly dressed woman and man sit side by side in a waiting  room, sharing a quiet smile. Marriage Test

Director: Sara Nourizadeh

Year: 2026

Set in a mosque waiting room in 1980s South Wales, and inspired by the true story of writer-director Sara Nourizadeh's parents, a young couple whose relationship crossed boundaries of culture, faith and expectation. At a time when Iranian politics dominated UK headlines and shaped public attitudes, a Welsh woman and her Iranian fiancé prepare for an Islamic conversion ceremony – a requirement they must fulfil if they are to marry. What follows is a quietly charged and emotionally intimate portrait of two people trying to navigate a moment that is both deeply personal and subtly political. As they wait for the ceremony to begin, small details – a trembling hand, a whispered joke, a fleeting moment of doubt – reveal the emotional stakes beneath the surface. Their conversation dances between humour and tension, affection and uncertainty, reflecting the push and pull of family pressures, cultural misunderstandings, and their own hopes for the future. Authentic VHS archive footage of the real couple is interwoven within this scripted drama, grounding the film in lived experience and offering an unexpectedly tender glimpse into the decades that followed.
