Goodnight Jennifer
Director: Simon Tatum
Year: 2004
Somewhere in London, two people tired of being alone, find themselves chatting on a dateline. As they talk their confidence grows. They both begin to talk about themselves in more elaborate and exaggerated ways. Finally they agree to meet. The initial excitement evaporates as reality kicks in. They can't possibly live up to the ridiculous images they have created in each others minds - or can they? (Written, shot and edited within 48 hours).

Joy of Joys
Director: Jonathan Glazer
Year: 2026
JOY OF JOYS is a short documentary about the recording sessions for War Child Records' HELP(2) at Abbey Road Studios, directed by Jonathan Glazer and devised by Mica Levi and Glazer. Children in London film themselves and the musicians, including Olivia Rodrigo, Arctic Monkeys, Damon Albarn, Cameron Winter, Fontaines DC and Pulp. While children in Gaza Ukraine, Sudan and Yemen film themselves and their surroundings. The documentary interweaves these layers across continents and backgrounds to show a universal innocence and the joy of childhood itself. Glazer and Levi describe the film as being “by children, for children”. Official Selection BFI London Film Festival 2026
