Night One:
The Family Gathering - written by Niamh Quinn, co-directed by Olivia David and Tanith Catherine Bavaird

The Family Gathering. Awkward conversations. Cousins you haven’t seen in ages. And a secret that threatens to tear a family apart. As Poppy, Maeve and Eliza prepare themselves from one of these dreaded events, will they be able to keep a cool head and come out with their relationship intact? Or will it all become just a little bit too much to handle? 

Content Warnings: Strong language, references to death and illness, grief

Eden - written and directed by Ali Leetham, co-directed by Holly Simpson and Riya Iyer

Eden is paradise: a luxury wellbeing retreat where the rich can just relax and forget about the rest of the world. But as the entitled clients start to disappear, one of them starts to question what it is they all came here to forget. A surreal and humorous look at new-age therapies and the darker side of relaxing when the rest of the world is going to shit.

I Think We Should See Other People - written and directed by Daniel Parrett, assistant directed by Isabella Edwards Martinelli

Jason and Lucy are a regular couple. The same can be said for Kenny and Sophie. But when the four go for a trip to Kenny's parents' summer house, a terrible secret comes to the surface... Jason and Sophie are having an affair! But wait, so are Kenny and Lucy? Who wrote this? And who the heck is flying this plane?

Content warnings: Sex references, strong language
