David Hoyle stars in this dark and disturbing sequel to Uncle David. It returns us to a bleak caravan park somewhere on the Isle of Sheppey and finds Uncle David has introduced a new addition to his community, whose warped imagination and love of horror might have led to murder. Some of the park's inhabitants take a keen interest in the androgynous Michael/Michelle. A pair of emotionally disturbed siblings are especially curious and needy around this new arrival. Drawn into Uncle David's web, their presence has consequences for all concerned. Certainly not for the faint of heart, this is bold and adventurous filmmaking and as queer as it is unsettling.

Eric
'Tick Where It Hurts' is an 18 minute long short film by Bertie Gilbert. It tells the story of a young musician (Guy) coming to terms with the suicide of his brother and musical partner (Eric) over the span of one long night. It is a psychological film that tells it's story through monologues, experimental looks into the past and intense character study. We watch as Guy, an incredibly logical and calculated person, tries to figure out and contemplate why his brother would do such a thing and whether or not he can continue making music without him. A film with many interesting shots and ideas, but never loses track of it's characters and it's message.
