BOOK YOUR TICKETS AT:
“Connect”, Marilyn Edmond, UK, https://vimeo.com/351132956
Language: English
Cast: Kevin Guthrie , Siobhan Reilly, Stephen McCole, Sara Vickers, Conor McCarron, Cameron Fulton , Jennifer Black
Synopsis: CONNECT is the directorial debut of Marilyn Edmond and follows the story of Brian (Kevin Guthrie), a young man battling with his mental heath. Outwardly, he keeps calm, goes to work and carries on. He never feels that it’s possible to share his feelings, until care home owner Jeff (Stephen McCole) becomes a source of support. A flirtation with single mother Sam (Siobhan Reilly) could be a reason to choose life.
Moments of optimism clash with dark despair in a strikingly filmed tale shot in North Berwick. Suicide among young men is a major issue in the UK today. Connect is an ambitious attempt to confront the issue in a heartfelt drama.
Lost Focus, Sangeetha Gowda, Australia, https://vimeo.com/346689656

Synopsis: “Lost Focus” follows Samuel, an aspiring adolescent filmmaker, as he is faced with the trauma of potentially losing his Grandfather whom he is very close to.
