When Tess learns of her estranged father’s death, she travels to the funeral hoping for nothing more than some closure and the chance to meet the woman who stole him from her. Immediately blindsided by the revelation that her father was a transgender woman, Tess starts to wonder what else has been kept from her, turning to her mother for answers.
The Talent
DIR Thomas May Bailey, Tommy - Emma D’arcy, David - Leo Suter, Host – David Mills, Stella – Rhianne Baretto
On the set of a luxury car commercial, an overlooked assistant seizes his chance to get noticed by the star. Filmed entirely on and around a Virtual Production Stage, THE TALENT is a lyrical meditation on masculinity, desire and becoming.
Requiem
DIR Emma Jane Gilbertson, Evelyn – Bella Ramsey, Minster Gilbert – Simon Balcon, Mary – Safia Oakley-Green.
Requiem is set in 1605, against the backdrop of the witch trials. It's a coming of age story, following Evelyn as she engages in a game of cat and mouse against her father, Minister Gilbert, in order to be with Mary, the woman she loves.
