The Vampires of Bloody Island
Synopsis
In her crumbling castle clinging to the rocks of a Cornish island, a vampire noblewoman, Morticia de'Ath (Pamela Kempthorne), aided by an unconventional alchemist Dr N. Sane (John Snelling) and a resurrected corpse, Grunt, (Leon Hamilton) makes a radical scientific discovery of importance to vampires worldwide.
To complete her mission, Morticia commands her dead manservant to lure two innocent soft drink sellers from London towards the deeply superstitious village of Bloody Bay, and the much feared Bloody Island.
Morticia ensnares the pair but is interrupted by the vampire hunter (and ex-window cleaner) Professor Van Rental (Oliver Gray).
Morticia revives her vast and heavily armed vampire army and engages in two similtanious battles: one large, loud and bloody, the other small and deeply personal!

The Scarlet Tunic
Director: Stuart St Paul
Year: 1998
In nineteenth century rural England, a German hussar serving with King George III's personal cavalry, Matthaus Singer, falls madly in love with Frances Groves, the only daughter of a West Country solicitor. Based on the short story 'The Melancholy Hussar' by Thomas Hardy
Marriage Test
Director: Sara Nourizadeh
Year: 2026
Set in a mosque waiting room in 1980s South Wales, and inspired by the true story of writer-director Sara Nourizadeh's parents, a young couple whose relationship crossed boundaries of culture, faith and expectation. At a time when Iranian politics dominated UK headlines and shaped public attitudes, a Welsh woman and her Iranian fiancé prepare for an Islamic conversion ceremony – a requirement they must fulfil if they are to marry. What follows is a quietly charged and emotionally intimate portrait of two people trying to navigate a moment that is both deeply personal and subtly political. As they wait for the ceremony to begin, small details – a trembling hand, a whispered joke, a fleeting moment of doubt – reveal the emotional stakes beneath the surface. Their conversation dances between humour and tension, affection and uncertainty, reflecting the push and pull of family pressures, cultural misunderstandings, and their own hopes for the future. Authentic VHS archive footage of the real couple is interwoven within this scripted drama, grounding the film in lived experience and offering an unexpectedly tender glimpse into the decades that followed.
Foreign Bodies
Director: Lysander Wong
Year: 2025
A simple itch descends into an outbreak with many legs. Certain things will always find their way to the surface. An exploration into the horror of having a body, of unbelonging.
