EMR EMR

Director: James Erskine, Danny McCullough

Year: 2005

Erskine and McCullough’s debut feature is a deft thriller that cleverly weaves together a host of urban myths – from kidney-stealing and alien abduction, to manipulative drug corporations; this is a paranoiac’s wonderland. Reminiscent of Jacob’s Ladder and with shades of Donnie Darko, the plot winds its way, Rubik’s cube-like, to a satisfyingly twisted climax. At times sinister, surprising and striking, and with an endearingly hapless hero, EMR is a refreshingly British take on the thriller that will make you think twice the next time you knock back a couple of aspirin.

Untitled Beatrice Gibson First Feature (La Nuit) Untitled Beatrice Gibson First Feature (La Nuit)

Director: Beatrice Gibson

Year: 2026

After an abortion, a woman wanders the streets of Paris, engaging in a series of silent encounters under the neon lights of Chinatown. Taking place over the course of a single night and drawing inspiration from the writings of cult literary figures Kathy Acker, Bernadette Mayer, and Alice Notley, the film intertwines dream and reality. Shot in the reddish glow of karaoke bars, cinemas, and clubs - a collective, feminist autofiction with a cast of artists, poets, and actors.

Ancestors Ancestors

Director: David Turpin

Year:

A love story, a noir mystery and a metaphysical fable, Ancestors follows Beau as he searches 1980s London for his missing friend, Tiny. Dream, reality, memory and history entwine, forcing Beau to come face-to-face with truths beyond life and death.
