The Violators

Synopsis

When Shelly meets Rachel, two dysfunctional girls from radically opposed backgrounds set off on a collision course that will leave one of them shattered, the other re-born.
Set in the forsaken wastelands of Cheshire's little-seen urban overspill, 'The Violators' is a meditation on the meaning of home, and the potency and fragility of young girls' sexuality.

On the Sea On the Sea

Director: Helen Walsh

Year: 2025

Jack has been married to Maggie for over half his life. He works as a hand raker on the mussel beds in North Wales alongside his younger brother, Dyfan, and Dyfan’s three sons. Jack has always assumed that his own boy, Tom, will join the family business on leaving school, but Tom’s resistance to follow in his footsteps creates familial tension. Tensions are further inflamed by the arrival of an itinerant deckhand, Daniel, who makes known his feelings for Jack. In this remote, rural community where life revolves around Church and fishery, Jack is faced with an impossible dilemma. A beautiful, sensual and at times, tragic exploration of masculinity, place and desire. Official Selection Edinburgh International Film Festival 2025 - World premiere

When the family relocates to Judith’s childhood home, isolated deep in the countryside, buried tensions erupt and old secrets surface. The creature closes in, and a primal battle begins between a now-desperate mother and a relentless, all-consuming force.
