The Ballad of Wallis Island

James Griffiths

What would you do if you won the lottery? Charles answers the age-old question by inviting his favourite former folk duo to his remote island, where the estranged band members prove that some flames never die...

Ebony and Ivory

Jim Hosking

If you're looking for the wildest film of the fest this year, look no further! Ebony and Ivory is here on a nugget slide to melt your brain with absurd humour that becomes so delirious that it turns into a nightmare.

Harvest

Athina Rachel Tsangari

Greek arthouse original Athina Rachel Tsangari turns her hand to phantasmagoric folkloric unease, in an unusual vision of a village in pre-industrial Britain that is set to tear itself apart.

My Father's Shadow

Akinola Davies Jr

Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù gives a masterful performance as a stern but loving father that takes his children on an impromptu day trip to Lagos to recover a debt in the midst of a political upheaval.

One to One: John & Yoko

Kevin Macdonald, Sam Rice-Edwards

This immersive portrait of the time John and Yoko spent living in Greenwich Village is a vivid time capsule of America in the early 70s. A time of extreme political polarisation which may seem uncannily familiar.

Urchin

Harris Dickinson

This gritty and empathetic portrait of addiction and the self-destruction that comes along with it is filled with pitch black humour. Frank Dillane puts on a masterclass as he takes his character to rock bottom.
