The Park (Dancing on the Rubble of Empire)

A century ago, millions flocked to Wembley Park in London to witness the British Empire Exhibition, where objects and people from the colonies were displayed as spectacle. Though its pavilions have long vanished, fragments remain buried in the city’s soil and in the lives of its communities. ‘The Park (Dancing on the Rubble of Empire)’ meditates on these hidden inheritances, asking what it means to celebrate, play, and belong amid the rubble of empire.

Murewa

In the quiet seaside town of Worthing, Marlon and Murry (Murewa) form a deep friendship, bonding over skateboarding, photography and the carefree adventures of youth. But as they grow older, their lives take different turns. Marlon leaves for university in London, while Murry, facing mounting pressure at home, makes choices that lead to prison. Through years of home video, Murewa reflects on the complexities of growing up, and how opportunity and circumstance shape the futures of young people in ways they don’t fully grasp at the time. Intimate and deeply personal, the film explores boyhood, belonging and the lingering question of what might have been.

The Jackal Speaks: Inside the Mind of a Mass Murderer

A Storyville documentary exploring the extraordinary life of Ilich Ramirez Sanchez, better known globally as Carlos the Jackal. The mastermind of some of the most audacious attacks of the 20th century, he has never spoken for himself – until now. From his childhood in Venezuela to his radicalisation, his operations across Europe and the Middle East, and his relationships with some of the era’s most infamous figures – from Colonel Gaddafi to Osama Bin Laden – Carlos speaks with unsettling clarity about his life, past actions and ideology. In this rare and intimate portrait, recorded from the confines of a French high-security prison, where he is serving three life sentences, Carlos shares his story - unfiltered, unapologetic and deeply revealing.

The Horse of Jenin

Built from the debris of a major invasion, the Horse of Jenin sculpture became a constant presence in Alaa’s life growing up in Occupied Palestine. It stood proudly in the center of the city for twenty years, symbolizing hope and resistance. Then, on October 29, 2023, an Israeli bulldozer entered the city, ripping the sculpture from its place — and from its people. Now, Alaa is left wondering… What happened to the horse? Fresh from an acclaimed run at the 2025 Edinburgh Fringe Festival and combining storytelling, mask, and stand-up comedy, The Horse of Jenin is constructed from the fragments of Palestinian actor and comedian Alaa Shehada’s own memories and stands as an ode to the power of imagination and the resilience it brings.

Wormshine

Sam Williams's video collage coils its way through the gallery across seven monitors rooted to the ground. The work is an assemblage of research material: footage from university labs and the archives of the Natural History Museum; records of Darwin's experiments with earthworms at Down House; images of worms in art and popular culture; and myriad other annelid imagery. Two choreographies move through all of this: one is a text that moves linguistically through soil horizons. The other is movement material showing tasks enacted by a lone performer working with rope. The body casts, crawls and turns, flattening and coiling, continuously without acknowledgement. This is an experiment in embodying the worm as an image - in exploring softness, resilience strength and hidden labour.

Okay Keskidee! Let Me See Inside

A love letter to the UK Caribbean diaspora, exploring black histories, physical spaces and notions of community. The site of the Keskidee Centre, a pioneering Afro-Caribbean cultural centre, is now occupied by luxury apartments. The closure of such valued spaces where people could gather and organise coincided with the rise of a political discourse which led to a lack of documentation of Black Caribbean pasts. Working on the surface of the film image itself – making use of a rostrum camera and optical printer – filmmaker Rhea Storr reflects on the histories that remain trapped in the archive and how capitalism has affected our connection to the past.

Un giorno di regno

A tale of thwarted love and mistaken and assumed identities, this comedy revolves around an ordinary man becoming ‘King for a Day’. Cavaliere di Belfiore has, to distract attention from the genuine monarch, assumed the identity of King Stanislas of Poland, and arrived with much pomp at the castle of Baron Kelbar near Brest. There he finds himself in the middle of preparations for two weddings: the baron's daughter Giulietta is, most unwillingly, to marry the elderly La Rocca, while a local military official is hoping for the hand of the Marchesa del Poggio. Can ‘King Stanislas’ use his regal power in time to disentangle these unhappy betrothals before his true identity is revealed?
