Gold - Janina Samoles

11 year old Sammy, an only child, lives on an estate in London with her mother, Jan and her pet goldfish. Sammy’s real father left the family some time ago and the goldfish, however pathetic a pet that may seem, is Sammy’s sense of security and is everything to her. With her single mother working late most nights, Sammy channels her loneliness into a heart warming and unusual bond towards her pet fish. The goldfish, reflects Sammy’s powerlessness and also her reliance on herself as her only beacon of strength. Emotions run high one night as Jan’s alcoholic boyfriend returns home and tragedy strikes.

WeWi - Jess Gormley

Among the wild, the elements, and along the coast, two people are drawn to one another by an almost magnetic energy, but their ever heightening dance propels them apart in an ongoing cycle.

Flicker - Sarah Tognazzi

A fragmented story of loss and self-discovery, following a vulnerable drifter girl as she treads desolate hollow ground.

RED - Julia Powney

A young woman regains consciousness at the scene of a car accident. Lost and alone, her search for help leads her into a surreal experience.
Guided into extraordinary spaces that each represent her forgotten memories in wonder, it soon becomes clear that there is something odd about these memories. Distorted and blurring the lines between the real and the ordinary, the woman struggles to regain her memory before it is too late.

He Took His Skin Off For Me - Fiona Lamptey

The story of a man who takes his skin off for his girlfriend, and why it probably wasn’t the best idea…

Valentine - Genia Sophie Krassnig

On Valentine’s day, a hopeless romantic and a cynic realise that love is right in front of them.

Balsa Wood - Agnes Meath Baker

Balsa Wood is a light-hearted slice of life about two mixed race siblings visiting their extended Filipino family for lunch. It is a bubble of family functions and dysfunctions, all with a south east Asian fluorescence. The film explores what it is to feel like an outsider within your own family, while recognising that belonging comes in many different forms. Balsa Wood is funny, moving, and in parts surreal.

Boxer on the Wilderness - Alexandra Boyd, Rebecca Ioannou

A young boxer survived World War One but can he win the fight?
