Lydia Brass is a famous stage actress who has played the lead in her father's plays for more than half her life. He is the World-renowned playwright, Sir Rowland Brass. Now in her early thirties, Lydia is determined not to work for her father any longer for reasons she initially won’t disclose. She also no longer wants to act, but when she develops a relationship with an ambitious American playwright living in London, and ultimately marries him, he gradually coerces her back on stage. It is by returning to the stage that she finds herself caught in a nasty and manipulative game where she doesn’t know whether to believe: her prestigious father, her husband, a writer who is a plain old nobody, or no one altogether. The Silver Goat is the first film created for the iPad and the 1st to be released as an app in the UK, Europe and Latin America.

An in-depth study of David Lean, the man and his films. David Lean was one of the greatest filmmakers. He redefined what films could be, but his singular vision and tenacious determination to film the impossible earned him a reputation as an obsessive maverick. He was a master of his craft, capable of creating love and beauty on screen, but whose personal life was often troubled, uprooted, and painful. Featuring interviews with contemporary filmmakers including Wes Anderson, Paul Greengrass, Alfonso Cuarón, Celine Song, Brady Corbet, Francis Ford Coppola, Denis Villeneuve, Nia DaCosta, and Joe Wright.

Told through the lives and motivations of those on the frontline, WE, THE HATED turns its camera on the people behind one of the most polarising protest movements in recent memory. What emerges goes deeper than placards and road blocks: these are individuals who have weighed up the personal consequences of action against the existential stakes of inaction. With fossil fuels driving both the climate crisis and global conflict, and governments increasingly cracking down on dissent, the film raises urgent questions about protest, power and what democracy actually means in practice. Director Rich Felgate, who is in a relationship with Just Stop Oil's founder, brings an insider closeness to the story whilst retaining enough balance to speak to audiences well beyond the already converted.
