- A disillusioned reporter and a young, reformed Pastor attempt to save the life of a child accused of witchcraft by bravely fighting back against corruption and false prophets.
- To Fall off the Horse follows the turbulent experience of Nigerian-British actor Oris Erhuero during the production of an independent film being shot in Ghana. The film, titled 'The Cursed Ones', addresses the problem of false accusations of child witchcraft in West Africa. These accusations are a disturbing reality for much of the region, including the village that the film was shot in. The serious nature of this epidemic provides the backdrop for the production itself, and thus also for the documentary. Known for his role in the popular 90s television series Adventures of Sinbad, Oris is enthusiastic and outspoken. He comes across as an individual seeking purpose and recognition amongst the highs and lows of a claustrophobic, low budget film production. Nurtured by the social pressures and expectations of the entertainment industry, his overt self-confidence and behaviour lend the documentary an uncomfortable and, at times comical, edge. Oris rapidly succumbs to an overwhelming sense of frustration, beneath which his self esteem and machoism struggle to survive. It is through this struggle that the parallels between Oris' disillusioned character in the film and the reality of the actor's persona begin to emerge. With subtle imagery and implicative dialogue, To Fall Off The Horse explores Oris' unique personality whilst demonstrating how the processes behind acting can be a catalyst to revelation.
- Lethe begins with a fundamental question about the connectedness of memory and identity: what does the prospect of memory erasure entail for our continued identity and notion of self? Chloe lives in a near-future where this therapeutic dilemma is real, tangible, and also readily available. Her trial with a memory-erasing drug as a means of treating the effects of a past trauma serves as a case study with which to consider the moral and conceptual implications of resorting to such drastic measures.
