What happened to Evie is a tale of culpability and horror that asks the audience to constantly connect the dots through a girl’s fractured and distorted memories of a sexual assault.

TMI

Written & Directed by Ita Fitzgerald
Produced by Fiona Wright

When a mother reads her teenage son’s texts it triggers an awkward conversation which is way too much information. A humorous and touching comedy about miscommunication.

Not An Excuse

Directed & Produced by Hector Bell

This film is a portrait about a Percussionist at music school who suffers with ADHD. He tells us how it can affect him on a day to day basis but also how it can be a blessing in disguise. We see how his passion for music works as a coping mechanism for him. The subject’s character and condition are reflected in the filmmaking so the viewer can get a feel what life is like for someone with ADHD. 

Also nominated for Best Documentary & Best Young Filmmaker

Every Six Hours

Directed by Thomas E. Murphy
Written by Edward Hanlon
Produced by Amy Gillies & Peter Bruteig Henriksen

Running for freedom is never as easy as it seems. Two refugees form an unlikely friendship while fighting for their lives hiding in a lone container.

Set in a time where the modern world is on the brink of collapse, Every Six Hours is the story of Katiya and Sakura. Two Refugees from Russia and Japan respectively, both trying to make it to a better world. On the run and trying to find shelter for the night, Katiya enters a shipping container stacked to the brim with boxes and is finally allowed her moments rest. When she wakes up, she realises two things. That she is not alone, and that her shelter for the night has been moved onto a container ship.

Borderlands

Directed & Produced by Simon Lane & Victor Frankowski
Documentary
UK / Norway

The film traverses through the European Arctic, on the Norwegian and Russian border towns of Kirkenes (Norway) and Nikel (Russia). They are separated by 25 miles of vast, white sparseness and offer two very different perspectives on life in the artic, which due to global warming, share the same rapidly changing landscape.

In the ice cold seas and through the bleak soviet-era apartments, Borderlands explores the relationship between urbanity, industry, nature and the people that live there showing the vast difference in arctic settlements, their architecture, culture, and identity whilst portraying the normality of life in the Arctic frontier often eluded from the media.
