Time Lock

Synopsis

Time Lock is a tense, expressionistic crime thriller about chance and consequence, pride and self-deception. Mark Kerr is a jaded hotel manager with a gambling problem, sleepwalking through his life until he is tricked into facilitating a jewellery heist at the conference hotel where he works. Held in the basement of the hotel through the night, waiting for the time-lock on the safe to open, Mark's prospects of survival take a turn for the worse when his captor, Cal recognises him as a former teacher who was responsible for his expulsion from school fifteen years before. Mark must now face up to his failings as a man and rediscover his humanity if he is to placate his angry tormentor, protect the hotel staff and guests from harm - and survive the ordeal.

A retired physicist, tormented by decades of guilt for not having saved his wife from breast cancer, believes he has finally found a chance at redemption. Thirty-five years after her death, he visits a small café on the outskirts of London, where a young waiter he is about to meet, seemingly by chance, turns out not to be a stranger at all.

CHAT-E

Director: Jonathan Blagrove

Year: 2026

Jeff thinks his latest novel is a monumental work of staggering genius. But before he can send it off to his agent he feels the need for outside affirmation. When someone suggests he tries an artificial intelligence named CHAT-E to review the book, Jeff initially baulks at the idea. But when no-one else offers him a critique, he uploads his novel to the server. Within seconds CHAT-E is heaping praise on Jeff. When Jeff digs a little deeper, however, he doesn't like what he hears. Unable to let the negative feedback go, Jeff starts a confrontation with the all-knowing AI. One he quickly learns he cannot win.
