The Game

A young man, sits alone in a cafe, deep in thought. A bouquet of disregarded roses in front of him.
A young man and a young girl, stare at something together. Another man watches their interaction carefully from behind.
In a busy street, a young man, attempts to catch the attention of a young woman.
In a quiet street, a young man and an older man watch two girls having an intense conversation from afar.
In a bathroom, a young girl places her finger on a man's lips as if to shush him. A mirror and a polaroid of the couple separates them.

Synopsis

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.

Two girls in maroon school uniform sit against mustard yellow lockers doing homework and sharing an orange. Lady Macbeth Was Never a Girl

Director: Francesca McBride

Year: 2026

In the grey rhythms of a 1990s British secondary school, a student begins to sense a discomfort that has no name, just a feeling that the role they’re playing doesn’t quite fit. Through a missing pair of joggers, an unexpected line from Macbeth, and the quiet rituals of uniforms, registers, and school corridors, this film traces the first flickers of identity forming - not through revelation, but recognition.
