The Mad Axeman
Synopsis
As Christmas fast approaches, the characters locked in the flat become desperate, fearful and suspicious. At the behest of the Krays, Frank writes to the Home Secretary, and his case is debated in the Houses of Parliament. If he receives a parole date, he will agree to hand himself back in. This offer is declined and Frank becames a liability.
Frank falls in love with the hostess 'Lisa', and the dysfunctional family enjoy a final Christmas Eve dinner. On Christmas day, Frank thinks he is leaving the flat to go to the countryside and to be the Kray's right hand man. In fact he is taken outside, put in a van and shot multiple times.

No Women No Children
Director: Akporé Uzoh
Year: 2026
The aftermath of a sexual assault (rape). Exploring the deep-felt consequences for all involved. At its heart an epic story of a couple's fight for the survival of their love.
Virginia Woolf's Night & Day
Director: Tina Gharavi
Year:
Based on Virginia Woolf’s funniest novel, NIGHT AND DAY is an un-romantic comedy about a passionate astronomer Katharine Hilbery who does everything she can to avoid romantic love and marriage. Fun and contemporary in tone, this refreshing film showcases an ensemble of humourous performances against the ravishing backdrop of London in 1910, advances in science and technology and crumbling Edwardian patriarchy. Virginia’s story is as relevant to today as it ever was: women balancing romantic love with careers!
A Visit to Grandpa’s
Director: DJ Caruso
Year:
A VIST TO GRANDPA'S is a whimsical, heart-stirring tale based on Dylan Thomas’s classic short story. When a lonely boy is sent to spend the summer with his wildly eccentric grandfather in the countryside, he expects boredom but finds magic instead. Grandpa is nothing like he imagined: impulsive, outrageous, and full of mysterious stories that blur fact and fantasy. As the days stretch on, mischief turns to meaning, and their unexpected bond becomes a lifeline for them both. With Hopkins set to deliver a career- defining performance, this is a funny and deeply moving journey through memory, imagination and the strange magic of family.
