Crime 101
Director: Bart Layton
Year: 2026
Set against the sun-bleached grit of Los Angeles, CRIME 101 weaves the tale of an elusive jewel thief (Chris Hemsworth) whose string of heists along the 101 freeway have mystified police. When he eyes the score of a lifetime, his path crosses that of a disillusioned insurance broker (Halle Berry) who is facing her own crossroads. Convinced he has found a pattern, a relentless detective (Mark Ruffalo) is closing in, raising the stakes even higher. As the heist approaches, the line between hunter and hunted begins to blur, and all three are faced with life-defining choices–and the realisation that there can be no turning back. Adapted from Don Winslow’s acclaimed novella of the same name, the film is written and directed by Bart Layton (American Animals, The Imposter). Barry Keoghan, Monica Barbaro, Corey Hawkins, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Nick Nolte round out the cast.
American Animals
Director: Bart Layton
Year: 2018
The unbelievable but mostly true story of four young men who mistake their lives for a movie and attempt one of the most audacious art heists in US history. Taking the thrill of the heist genre and turning it inside out, this film blurs the line between truth and fiction in a wild story of money, movies and the search for meaning.

The Last Picture Shop
Director: Liam Saint-Pierre
Year: 2027
THE LAST PICTURE SHOP follows Ümit Mesut, an eccentric 64-year-old Cypriot Cockney projectionist who owns the last cine-film shop in the UK. Against the backdrop of gentrification and the cost-of-living crisis, the shop comes close to closure. Persuaded by his close filmmaker friend Liam, the two embark on an improbable mission: head to Hollywood, track down the high priest of celluloid, Quentin Tarantino, and ask his support to save this wonderful shop before it is lost forever. Little goes to plan, with countless twists and setbacks, their friendship and even their love of cinema is tested, but only through their epic journey do they realise the answer to their quest lies closer to home. The documentary is a heartfelt homage to cinema, filled with humour and humanity.
