The Last Drop

Synopsis

What better time for a robbery than under the fog of war!

In a daring attempt to end the war by Christmas, the British High Command hatch an extraordinary plan - Operation Market Garden. 35,000 troops are dropped behind enemy lines in German-occupied Holland. In the midst of the largest airborne invasion in history, one small unit of men, codenamed 'Matchbox', has its own hidden agenda. When Matchbox are shot down short of their landing zone, the odds of their success seem hopeless. Seven very different British soldiers find themselves separated from the Allied invasion, on a collision course with three renegade German soldiers who want to lay claim to the hoard.

Spivs Spivs

Director: Colin Teague

Year: 2004

In this cool, but surprisingly emotional, gangster flick, Jack (Ken Stott - Fever Pitch, Shallow Grave) is a true gentleman and a class act of the short con game. With his young protégé, the charmingly streetwise Steve (Nick Moran - Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, The Musketeer) alongside the sharp and sexy Jenny (Kate Ashfield - The War Zone, Late Night Shopping), and the 'bloody hopeless' Goat (Dominic Monaghan - The Lord of the Rings Trilogy), he runs a formidable team of quick-witted and successful con artists.   Keeping the team on track and making sure Steve is focussed on the play (not on Jenny's foxy good looks) is the only trouble for Jack - until a simple heist goes wrong and they are lumbered with a truck full of illegal immigrants destined for the sex trade. While most of them scarper, two of them, a scruffy 10-year-old girl and her frightened young brother, are left in Jack's reluctant charge. But then the furious smuggler sets out on a bloody vendetta, determined to wreak revenge for the loss of his precious cargo.

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.
