When juvenile inmate Malcolm is offered a chance at parole, he is torn between his chance for freedom and protecting the one he loves.

Downriver

Reef Ireland, Kerry Fox

James has served time for drowning a little boy when he was a child, although the body was never found in the river. A visit from his victim's mother upon parole sends him on a quest to find the truth. With little time and danger at every turn, James risks his freedom and his life to uncover the trail of sins that might give closure to the grieving mother.

Neon Skin

Grant Scicluna

Two young men - one sighted, one blind - see the world and their bodies in different ways. Unexpectedly, they find a connection beyond the visual in the collision of taste, touch and sound. The connection is sensual, and within it they each find something new.

Frisch verliebt

Sia Hermanides, Grant Scicluna

Samuel, Malcolm, Remy, Jan, Kowalski and Jasper have no problem at all with being gay. Unfortunately, their friends, their parents and sometimes even their crush do. But that's no reason for sadness: experiences have to be made. And maybe after the next party everything will look completely different. Youth research!

30 Minutes of Danger

Grant Scicluna

Maude Davey, Nicki Bacon

Director Grant Scicluna jumps into VR with an adaptation of one of the tales from Jack Heath’s short-story collection 300 Minutes of Danger. Here, in a potentially deadly case of mistaken identity, Nassim is poisoned and must engage in a heart-pumping game of cat and mouse to secure the antidote.
