The Lost Choices

Synopsis

Three boys, two grow, one tries. Based on a thousand true stories, The Lost Choices studies the effects of abuse in several forms with three lives. Without passing judgement, the film explores the destructive relationships between peers and the family.
Once released from serving time in his adulthood, one boy aims to rehabilitate into soceity. Fighting personal problems, severe phobias, panic, depression, he finds comfort in an unlikely attraction and a persistent mentor.
Letting a drug-habit spiral out of control, one boy loses grasp with reality and, once coupled with a family tragedy, channels his drug-induced fears into aggression, with only one target on his mind.
Vying for love and acceptance but never gaining either it seems, one boy finally takes control over his life.

The Abandoned Library The Abandoned Library

Director: Andy Campbell, Judi Alston

Year: 2023

In a future Northern England devasted by climate change, an environmental worker uncovers an abandoned library where books and technology have fused into the architecture and landscape to create new stories. 19-year-old CJ is working to salvage valuable resources from the flooded and haunting remains of a once-thriving coastal town. The world she inhabits leaves her feeling angry and displaced. She is living through the catastrophic consequences of previous generations’ mistakes. Taking shelter from an approaching storm, CJ ventures inside the old library, where she discovers a bizarre ‘living’ fusion of nature, language, and technology. At its heart is The Librarian, a malfunctioned AI that has been gathering data and archive film from its turbulent surroundings. Affected by years of extreme temperatures and abnormal weather conditions, The Librarian is forming its own unique work of literature: a story of connectedness and hope that needs a strong and resilient protagonist.
