on vs Lightning, 13m, UK, Big Red Button
All Don wants is a quiet life in the Scottish Highlands. Unfortunately the universe has other plans.

Vis – a Vis. 17m, Luxembourg, Émile V. Schlesser
English Subtitles
While throwing a booze fueled party during the pandemic, a young man is haunted by the suspicion that something happened to the old lady across the street – and he might be responsible for it.

Standing Woman, 15m, UK, Tony Hipwell
Standing Woman is an award winning dystopian drama about a near future where the government, rather than imprisoning criminals or deporting immigrants, turns them into trees as part of an insidious environmental campaign. Based on the short story by internationally acclaimed writer, Yasutaka Tsutsui, author of Paprika and The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, Standing Woman is a cautionary tale of a world that has edged into bio-fascism. The story follows Tom, a propaganda filmmaker working for the government as he wrestles with the recent ‘planting’ of his wife Mari and embarks on an odyssey to say a final goodbye. On his journey he will encounter others affected by this regime whilst wrestling with the guilt he carries for his wife’s fate.

Consequences, 15m, Spain, Coming-of-Age Drama Diana Valero Ruiz
Spanish with English subtitles
‘Consecuencias’ tells the step to maturity of a Latin American adolescent living in Madrid, in the face of social and economic discrimination.

Vlada Goes to London, 21m, FTF / Student, Israel, Arti Savchenko
Hebrew and Russian with English subtitles
Vlada is a pizza delivery girl who lives in Haifa and dreams of becoming a famous DJ. Within a five-hour shift, we get a glimpse into her world full of pressure where she’s willing to do whatever it takes to find the money for a flight to perform at a festival in London.
