A lone wildlife volunteer is stationed in the only house on Enys Men (which means Stone Island in the old Cornish language). Every day, this unnamed woman (Mary Woodvine) checks and records the progress of a flower that grows from between the rocks covering an old tin mine; every day, nothing changes. At first, it seems her only link with humanity is an unreliable radio. But she has other companions: miners who appear on the moorland, schoolgirls in white frocks, and one particular young woman who climbs onto the roof and won’t come down. Most peculiarly, the woman’s body starts to sprout the same lichen creeping over the flowers she is studying. We are told the year is 1973, but it seems to be all the years at once; time rolls back and forth like the tide, taking her with it.

ZERO

Director: Jean Luc Herbulot

In the bustling heart of Dakar, Senegal, two white Americans wake to a nightmare: bombs strapped to their chests, and they only have ten hours before they explode. With no idea who’s behind it, their only hope for survival is to listen to the instructions of a mysterious voice on the phone, forcing them to complete a series of bizarre and perilous tasks across the city. As they race against time in this twisted scavenger hunt, the vibrant streets of Dakar become a high-stakes labyrinth of survival. Darkly thrilling and filled with unexpected political commentary on colonialism and African society, this tense and exciting pulse-pounding thriller keeps you guessing until the very last second—because in this world, every move counts.

EEPHUS

Director: Carson Lund

New England, an amateur baseball game is being played in front of empty stands, from morning until nightfall. It’s the team's last match: tomorrow, the demolition of the arena will begin. Eephus refers to a particular pitch – a slow curveball that is difficult to hit – but one doesn't need to know the rules of baseball to grasp the ways of this world: a certain American, rural and masculinist culture. Awkward, aging and out of shape, the men  are as enthusiastic about  the drinks they bring to the game as they are about bats and balls. The bonds forged by the game are deep, however -  and, by extension, so is their love of baseball itself in this touching and funny analogy of America.
