Project Summer

Project Summer tells the story of Miles Otembe, a young mercenary who returns home from bloody warfare where he lost the woman he loves, Tammy, to find his country at war with a different kind of enemy. A viral pandemic, where the country has gone into complete lockdown. Grieving the loss of his love in isolation and unable to bury her body, we follow his downward spiral into chaos as other powers deem to erase his memory of a past turning him back into a killing machine for the next campaign. Will he falter his memories and become a weapon yet again or will true love conquer the machine? Project Summer glistens in 80's reminiscence under a dystopian noir veil with a kick ass soundtrack which plays homage to 80's John Carpenter synth sounds and beautiful dark film grain visuals.

Gateways Grind

What do you picture when you think of King’s Road? The swinging 60s? Vivienne Westwood pioneering punk fashion? One notable establishment in this enclave of history that’s often forgotten about is Gateways, London’s longest-surviving lesbian club. Alongside a host of its patrons over the years, Sandi Toksvig highlights the legacy of the club from its original owner, who won it in a poker game, to its blossoming into a hotspot and safe space for lesbian life.

In this charming and informative film, it’s celebrated in all its glory.
