The Moment Trap - The Lennon Dream
Synopsis
Behind the antics and actions played out between our four main friends and the gangsters and criminals they encounter along the way, is a suggestion of the difficulties and questions that young adults face today in work, in love, and in preparing for life in the future. The prospect of being able to afford to raise a family, of owning one's own home, or even getting a job with a half-decent salary to start with looks vanishingly small these days - Perhaps crime appears to offer a more achievable route to affording such basic ideals...
This is a poignant look at some of the challenges and dilemmas that our modern society has created for the younger generations. Are we making a brighter future for our children or are we actually making life tougher?

Black Church Bay
Director: Rhys Marc Jones
Year: 2026
In a remote Welsh coastal village, the disappearance of an openly-gay sixth form student disrupts the delicate balance of local life for one deputy head teacher, exposing long-buried secrets and threatening to tear the community apart.
A Time Before
Director: Leo Metcalf
Year: 2024
Olly sifts through his memories searching to understand why he is the way he is. The narrative swings between two contrasting worlds: his memories of his first years, captured by his childhood drawings, and surreal underwater live-action scenes representing his dreams. We witness fragmented memories of a torn family - an abusive father, a mother whose memory seems faded, and a sister, Sally, encouraging her little brother to escape through imagination and dreams. As memory and fantasy blur, The Time Before becomes a meditation on the stories we tell ourselves to survive, and what is lost in the telling. Official Selection Aesthetica Film Festival 2024
