The Space Between

Synopsis

Lisa spends her days numb, isolated in a comfortless flat, her only respite brought by working at an observatory, where she comes close to the stars.

In London Steven loses everything and heads for sanctuary to the city he grew up in.

At dead of night, at their lowest points, Lisa and Steven rescue one another, discovering kindred spirits and a chance to turn their lives around.

An Edinburgh love story and redemption tale shot in glorious sunshine over 17 days, for only £15,000, THE SPACE BETWEEN is written & directed by Tim Barrow, producer of award-winning Scottish road movie THE INHERITANCE. The central roles are taken by Tim and Vivien Reid, who makes her screen debut after an extensive career in theatre, and they are joined by David Whitney, a fast-rising star of stand-up comedy.

Shot by cinematographer Chris Martin the film was designed by Halla Groves-Raines and edited by Anthony Bueno.

Following its sold-out premiere at Edinburgh’s Filmhouse, THE SPACE BETWEEN is touring Scotland until Spring 2012.

Savage House Savage House

Director: Peter Glanz

Year: 2026

England, 18th Century. The Savages are at their lowest: they despise each other, their house is falling apart, and they are disliked in polite society - sleeping with their servants, and selling off jewellery to keep their gambling and drinking going. Oh, and Chauncey Savage’s foot might be rotting off. This is until they are set to be visited by higher ranking nobleman. The honour gives them a renewed energy to get new outfits, polish their silver, and hire new help to make sure the House of Savage is looking as impressive as possible.

A young man stares forward, surrounded by darkness, with some passing by distorting one side of his face Fair

Director: Benjamin Turner

Year: 2027

A group of teenage boys become entangled in a series of escalating "games" built around a single rule: don’t flinch. What begins as playful competition gradually shifts into something more controlled, more psychological, and more dangerous. As the boundaries blur, each boy is forced to navigate power, performance, and the pressure to appear unbreakable. FAIR explores how identity is shaped under pressure, and what it takes to hold your ground in a world where showing weakness isn’t an option.
