 Sucker
Juni is a cannibal who lures men in as meal planning, but when her new neighbour comes by, she might have just met her match. Who doesn’t like a good cannibal romance? Especially when they come with a fantastic central performance. |
 Gynoid
Two women take part in an experiment where they must determine which one of them is human, and which is a humanoid robot. A gripping exploration of consciousness, what makes us human, and the ethics of the future of technology. |
 Full Term
Wade and Sanger’s getaway turns into a hostage situation when the result of their spicy carefree night together appears to go against state laws. Terrifying in its closeness to reality, this is a thought-provoking, witty and smart film by Lizz Marshall. |
 Pimple
A young boy’s pimple leads to bloody consequences and an empowering life lesson when he is confronted by bullies in the school corridor. Silly, funny and positively gross, this is a strangely life-affirming little film. |
 Lockdoon
Thrust into an escape room, four misfits must find their way out. But what seemed like a friendly game soon becomes a fight for survival. Told entirely in sign language, this is a classic tale of how repressed secrets will always come back to haunt you. |
 MARDAZMA
Attempting to avoid the local army after capturing voters on election day to punish them, two armed men find themselves at the mercy of a mythical djinn. This supernatural folk story shines a light on the resilience of the Afghan people. |
 Anesthesia
Michael is enjoying a nice day at the beach with his parents, but his mother has a strange, and rather invasive question to ask. This gorgeous film explores corrupt systems in the age of overpowering tech systems. |
