About this Event

LIFE IN TRANSITION

Moving between intimate drama, reflection, and documentary observation, these works explore how identity is formed through what we remember and what we choose to forget. Together they offer a series of portraits shaped by change, resilience, and the uncertain nature of memory.

Saturday 9 May, Cavendish Hotel, 12:00

Synopsis


Recall me maybe

UK | 2025 | 13’42” | Drama

Dir. David Baddiel, Juliet Riddell

An elderly man living with dementia turns

to an AI tool to reconstruct the gaps in his

memory. As he revisits fragments of his

past through digital archives, his family begins

to uncover unsettling details that challenge

their understanding of who he was.


Gilbert and George Daytripping Forever!

UK, USA | 2025 | 8’26” | Documentary

Dir. Iain B. MacDonald

This quirky documentary follows the artists

Gilbert and George as they embark

on another adventure to Southend-on-

Sea and explore the meaning of their art

and their lives.


I Won’t Cry Tomorrow

Egypt | 2024 | 17’38” | Drama

Dir. Mohamed Mahmoud

A poor child with special needs who is

deaf and mute drops out of school due to

what happens to his father, which brings

about a drastic change in his life.


No 1614

UK | 2025 | 05’43’’ | Experimental

Dir. Junhao Fu

A young woman drifts between reality

and dream, caught in a liminal space

where she confronts both the storm

and its echo within her. The typhoon becomes

a metaphor for trauma — unseen,

recurring, and deeply embedded.


France | 2023 | 11’03” | Drama

Dir. Anne Chpakovski

Successively erased, covered over, she

recounts intimate moments of her life. As

the story emerges, and through the unspoken,

a portrait of her relationship with

a little too close friend takes shape.


In Out

Lebanon | 2024 | 15’04” | Drama

Dir. Yara Sharyan

The journey of 12 year old Sama and 10

years old Yasmine from the day they arrive

to their grandmother’s house following

their parents’ sudden divorce. The sisters

struggle to adapt to their new living situation

and cope with the emotional fallout.
