For years her husband, King Dimuthu, has been away on the front line of the battle of her Kingdom against the Muslim dominated Samobir Sultanate, the largest Kingdom in the region. Dimuthu returns with terrible news that the Samobir are closing in the on the Kingdom and that he has invited the Samobir Sultan, Jayangir, to try and save the Kingdom from complete destruction at the hands of the unstoppable Samobir Kingdom. Upon Sultan Jayangir's arrival Nuveena instantly sets about trying to impress him in hopes that he will spare the Kingdom her husbands dynasty had spent hundreds of years building. However, this only motivates him to invade the Kingdom and capture the beautiful Queen as his own. Nuveena also falls for him and on the night before he departs home to plan his invasion she commits the most dishonourable crime of all, adultery. The Samobir invasion begins and Nuveena clings on to the hope that her love for Jayangir will make him save her people. Months pass by and the armies of the Samobiur close in on the city and Nuveena loses her husband in battle. The fateful day finally arrives when the Samobir enter the city and Nuveena orders her soldiers to stand down as she welcomes the new ruler of her peoples land into the Palace. Nuveena shares a final moment with the Sultan who she is deeply in love in before herself and her maidens self-immolate themselves to escape the embarrassment of losing the war. Starring Anushika Jayewardene as Nuveena and Amithnal Samaranayake as Jayangir.

Tiempo de Valientes - In 1885, The Ecclesiastical State under the leadership of Pope Leo XIII sends a military squad to the town of Borgio, Quintelia, to protect one of the last colonies of the Ecclesiastical Empire, to avoid rebellious natives from recovering its ancient territories. Lead by Captain Juan Manuel Pardo and Lieutenant Sánchez, proud military men, the soldiers are stalked by night by the rebels, and are forced to seek refuge in the church run by Fray Isaac, Borgio's priest. Turning the church into a military fort, the unrelenting heat and malaria starts to sweep across the men. After the Captain's death by a disease called beriberi, Sánchez steps in as the new leader of the squad, faced with a constant power struggle with Camilo, a soldier from the previous squad annihilated by the rebels. Becoming more and more paranoid and obsessive with the victory and the glory of the Ecclesiastical Empire, the rebels close to Sánchez explain that the Pope had already signed a peace treaty with the Quintelians, giving them independence, and that the war is over. But Sánchez does not believe in the newspapers given by the rebels and is still obsessed to win at all cost. He makes a last stand in the church with his men, prolonging the battle to several months where one of the soldiers, Nicolás, who falls victim to opium, searches a way to end the conflict, suspecting that all is lost, and wanting to prevent the death of his comrades...

...This is an epic story about soldiers trapped inside a church as last refugee. A fight that no one couldn't win. A war that no one wanted to lose.


Trust - Fiona North's directorial debut film stars Renee Sandiego as Beatrice Anselmo and Alchemy Naismith as Serenity Azurewind  in a film that combines courtroom drama with flashbacks to the events concerned that really make the viewer think they were there, to tell the story of the Andean Genocide, what happened both publicly and behind the scenes, taking the basis of the plot from eyewitness accounts, court transcripts, available data and interviews with those involved. The films centrepiece is the relationship between the two leading characters and the lack of trust from one of them towards the other, how this lack of trust nearly destroys one woman's name and her nations reputation and how when things look lost together they bring out the truth of what happened to allow the genocide to happen when it should not have. Also featuring a dynamic score from Becky Leighton in her first feature film.

Vagabonds 2 - Payment Day - After the three Spacefaring Vagabonds Gaius, Serena and Eitri had asked Godfather Hans for Information to get the Republican guards of their track, they knew his Family would soon come knocking on their Door for a favor in Return.

Only as they meet unexpected survivors, fight Security Systems and local Fauna, the vagabonds realize this Mission is more Personal to Yukio than the seemingly Cold Blood Killer told them.
