Projects

Freedom Theatre

When a Palestinian ex-fighter turns to theatre as an act of resistance, we join him on his intimate struggle as he grapples with what it means to be the “right” kind of Palestinian all while struggling to keep the doors of a refugee camp theatre open.Freedom theatre is a gonzo road-trip documentary that follows Ahmed Tobasi, Creative Director of The Freedom Theatre - the Nobel Peace Prize-nominated theatre at the heart of the Jenin Camp.Charting what was to become a critical five-year period for Tobasi professionally and personally, the film navigates the complex tensions arising from the practice of art as resistance in Palestine.What began as a personal and creative portrait has now, unintentionally, become a vital living cultural archive of Jenin Camp — a place that has since been destroyed.

Hilda

“They fuck you up, your mum and dad. They may not mean to, but they do. They fill you with the faults they had. And add some extra, just for you.”HILDA is a gritty British drama set in modern-day London. Nearing her final year of school, Hilda must contend with the abandonment of her parents and the dependency of young siblings. With fiery determination locked behind a deadpan stoicism, Hilda depends on dance to keep the enclosing chaos at bay.

Pre-Production

Bathtub's Video Nasties

The Bathtub Video Nasty Anthology is our love letter to the cult shock-horror of British trash. A twisted playlist of filth, merging slapstick horror, cheap thrills and ultra-violence to create the kind of media-oddity you might find wrapped in grease paper in an abandoned porta-loo.

Written & Directed: Rishi Pelham & Ned Colin

Drowning Fish

A woman’s lover is executed. As her faith in humanity is then shattered, Sowaifa’s future takes a violent turn. Trailing between the weight of past memories and a haunted future, the apathetic romantic casts her knife into the dark heart of Jerusalem.

Written & Directed: Rishi Pelham

No Weddings, All Funerals

This semi-autobiographical, dark comedy, set in a hospice room as the female lead waits for her mother to pass away. She is joined by a maelstrom of friends and family members, forced into the same room for the first time in decades, resulting in awkward amusement. As she is confronted with the challenges of being the caregiver to her principal caregiver, along with her, the audience uncovers the simultaneously tender yet absurd realities and realisations that arise as we come to terms with mortality and our own existentialism.

Written & Directed: Suzanne Harb

As dangerous new feelings co-opt his life, he resolves to track down his slasher, a mysterious woman on the run from police as she continues a murderous rampage.Hurt is a romantic horror that twists love and violence, where the roles of hunt and hunted are blurred by a man’s manic compulsion for one woman’s attention.
