The Last Hours Of Laura K

Synopsis

Who killed Laura Kitchens?
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?

Chimney at former Carl Lindstroem Gramophone Company, Berlin Alarm Notes

Director: Anthea Kennedy, Ian Wiblin

Year: 2025

A poetic memoir and political report, shot in Berlin and Leipzig, and in landscapes around the British Isles. The film’s narrative builds out from the events of the Reichstag Fire in Berlin in 1933 in which the pioneering German-Jewish sound recordist, Ludwig Koch, on whom the film ultimately centres, plays a minor role, placing him and his family in danger. The film is structured in two parts, juxtaposing Koch’s persecution in Nazi Germany with his experiences as a refugee recording bird song and other sounds in Britain. <br /> The film’s images of contemporary urban and rural terrains, and of objects and documents, create a collision between past and present. Shifts in time are further emphasised through the use of Koch’s original sound recordings from Germany and Britain which feature throughout the film.

The Dunes The Dunes

Director: Kristian Evans, Nathan Roach

Year: 2025

Exploring the perspective of a teenage, neurodivergent, working-class runaway, seeking refuge and sanctuary from a normative society, in the seemingly desolate dunelands of the Glamorgan coast.
