Is There Anybody Out There?
My body is extremely unusual, I’ve never seen another like mine. ‘Is There Anybody Out There?’ follows my search to track down others with the same rare disability. Above all, it’s about ableism, living in a world where you’re seen as less than human and what it takes to love yourself fiercely despite this.

From Baptism to Last Rites, PRIEST follows Father Paul Grogan as he tends to his parish in a deprived area of Bradford, aware of the need to re-establish trust in the clergy of the Roman Catholic Church. This is the third in the trilogy of films about faith by Michael Whyte, following NO GREATER LOVE and RELICS AND ROSES.
“This film provides a ‘fly-on-the-wall’ view of the day to day life and ministry of a Catholic parish priest. It captures the breadth of ministry and demonstrates the privileged access that a priest is given to the lives of people during vital moments of great joy and profound grief. Frankly and honestly, it depicts some of the highs and lows in parish ministry but also allows the deep personal faith and commitment of the priest to shine through in all that he undertakes in the name of Christ and the Church.”
Bishop of Leeds, the Right Reverend Marcus Stock

Orhan Pamuk – Turkey’s Nobel laureate for Literature – opens a museum in Istanbul. A museum that’s a fiction: its objects trace a tale of doomed love in 1970’s Istanbul. Innocence of Memories takes a tour of the objects as the starting point for a trip through love stories, landscapes and the chemistry of the city.
View MoreIDENTICALS
None Of Us Are As Unique As We Think.
The organisation BRAND NEW-U identifies networks of Identicals – “people who walk like you, talk like you, but are walking through different, better lives” – and helps their customers make a life upgrade: eliminating the Better-Life donor, and relocating their client to that Brand New life. But errors can occur, and a Brand New life can cost more than expected.
Identicals follows SLATER as he is forced to move through a series of parallel lives. He becomes more and more obsessed as he tries to find the lover he lost, but what he must find in the end is himself.
Identicals takes elements of science-fiction movies and thrillers, strips them down, and re-mixes them into a looping dream-logic to create a contemporary allegory of our search for identity and human connection in our rootless, media-saturated worlds.
