The Silver Goat
Director: Aaron Brookner
Year: 2012
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.
The Contract of the Century
Director: Christina D. Bartson
Year: 2027
An all-archival film which tells the story of the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline - one of the most ambitious energy projects of the 21st Century - and the scientists, activists, and farmers that came close to stopping it. Part ghost story, part road trip film, the feature documentary examines how the ghosts of the empire haunt the present, as the world burns.
Matter of Britain
Director: Peter Treherne
Year: 2026
MATTER OF BRITAIN was an English country village’s performance of the Holy Grail myth. In that myth, King Arthur’s knights quest for the Holy Grail in order to heal their wasted land. The performance took place over 12 months from 2023 to 2024 in multiple locations across the parish of Mayfield, East Sussex. Over 300 members of the community took part as questing knights, angelic choirs, guiding anchorites and tempting devils. The performance was documented and subsequently made into an ethnographic fantasy that has screened at the Museum of Modern Art, CPH:DOX, Cinéma du Réel and Open City Documentary Film Festival. The work was supported by an Arts Council England Project Grant, the Lund Trust, High Weald AONB, East Sussex Arts Partnership, the University of Reading and the Museum of English Rural Life.
