The Last Hours Of Laura K
Synopsis
Today was meant to be all about building bridges with her sister, but after a late night flirtation and an early morning work call, Laura Kitchens' life is about to change in ways she could never imagine. As the ticking clock counts down the hours till her death can she solve the mystery of who is stalking her, help her sister not repeat the same mistakes she made and assist her boss in saving the mysterious SaturnEye deal that hangs in the balance?

Landscapes of Shame
Director: Patrick Hough
Year: 2026
Filmmaker Patrick Hough journeys through the haunted landscapes of Ireland, where colonial violence, ecological loss and queer desire remain inscribed in the land. Moving between forests, mountains, archives and cruising grounds, the film traces the extinction of the Irish grey wolf alongside the cultural suppression that followed Cromwellian conquest of Ireland. Fragments of history surface through objects and places: a death mask of Oliver Cromwell, medieval myths of werewolves, maps drawn to measure and divide conquered territory, and landscapes where wolves were once hunted to disappearance. These materials are interwoven with contemporary nocturnal scenes of queer gathering and protest, where shame gives way to transformation, pleasure and resistance. Blending essay film, documentary and poetic fiction, LANDSCAPES OF SHAME asks how violence survives in landscapes, language and bodies - and what forms of wildness still remain.
