LOVE YA LIKE POISON!

directed by Max Azulay & Rosie Yadid

Twenty-something Louise returns to NYC after university abroad. She is reunited with her firecracker of a Jewish mother, Nadine, and their relationship seems to pick up right where it left off.

While Nadine wants her back for good, Lou is desperately trying not to get too comfortable. When she reveals news of her engagement, old wounds are reopened as Nadine reveals secrets about her own failed marriage.

MEMENTO MORI

directed by Paul O'Flanagan

A storm brews over Victorian Dublin as post-mortem photographer, Mr.Huxley, returns to his hallowed practice within the gloomy townhouse in which he resides.

WHAT MAKES OUR FESTIVAL DIFFERENT?

  • Every filmmaker gets FEEDBACK included with the price of submission regardless if their film is selected or not.

  • Our CATEGORIES ARE BASED ON BUDGET so micro-budget shorts don't have to compete with fully funded films.

  • Winning filmmaker walks away with our £1,000 FILM FUND.
