The Only Hotel

Synopsis

Arriving in England from America in search of her father, Courtney Francis, a young, insecure woman, finds her hopes of being able to start a new life with him in pieces when she discovers he has long since started a new family. Without care she runs away and soon finds herself lost in the deserted back streets of London where she is immediately in danger as two muggers attack her.

She escapes them and finds refuge hiding in a large rundown hotel. Here she is offered accommodation if she works to pay the rent and with seemingly no more choices she resigns herself to living there. But soon Jenny Stein, a charismatic professional woman, arrives to collect debts from the hotel. The two become close and decide that the solution to their lives' problems is to steal drug money from a sleazy character, Carl Wilson, who is at the hotel for one night. However, the two women quickly find this plan leads them into great trouble and Courtney realises that her only way to escape is to overcome her fears and return to the hotel's haunted room.

The story is haunting and thrilling. Courtney goes through a dangerous journey in discovering her self-worth.

My Little Blue Heart My Little Blue Heart

Director: Iqbal Mohammed

Year: 2026

In a near future in rural Britain, Mustafa cares for his deaf sister, Amna, spending their days together in their hidden, isolated home. One morning, anti-immigration vigilantes descend, tearing them apart and leaving each to navigate fear, loss, and the quiet brutality of a world shaped by far-right policies. Amna escapes and searches for her brother, moving through the fields with determination, only to witness a horrific event. A meditation on family, the unbreakable ties between siblings, and the devastating cycles of violence that fracture lives. Against the backdrop of systemic oppression, the film explores how hate divides families, how love endures, and how the human heart persists even in the face of destruction.
