Snapshots from the documentaries catalogue

The selection below gives you a flavour of what's included in the catalogue. For each film you can read a synopsis and find contact details for the production company and sales agent.

Grand Theft Hamlet

Still from Grand Theft Hamlet. Four human characters surround a black car, behind which is the backdrop of a city scape. A green fictional character is suspended in the air.

Directed by Pinny Grylls and Sam Crane

Two out of work actors attempt the impossible task of mounting a full production of Hamlet inside the ultra-violent world of Grand Theft Auto, shot entirely in game.

The Taste of Mango

Still from The Taste of Mango. Close up of a woman's face mirrored four times. She is smiling and is dressed in bridal wear

Directed by Chloe Abrahams

A mother’s dream and a daughter’s beckoning - a love letter flowing through time, tenderly untangling knots in a family's unspoken past. Searching for answers that her mother and grandmother often brush aside, Chloe traces the reaches and limits of familial love.

Dalton's Dream

Still from Dalton's Dream. A young man with a black and white jacket performs into a microphone on stage. He is standing spot-lit by a piano with a red curtain behind him

Directed by Kim Longinotto

In December 2018, a young pansexual man from the slums of Jamaica became the first non-British and black man to win the UK X-Factor and a million-pound album deal that promised to change his life forever. Filmed over two years, this documentary follows 24-year-old Dalton Harris as he searches for fame, love and acceptance and tries to capitalise on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to achieve his dream.

The Veiled City

Still from The Veiled City. An archive image showing two women dressed in coats facing the camera. They are walking through heavy smog with handkerchief's pressed to their faces

Directed by Natalie Cubides-Brady

A sci-fi city symphony inspired by London’s Great Smog of 1952. Created from archive footage, the film unfolds through fictional letters from a post-apocalyptic future. The film invites us to understand the smog in the context of the present-day climate emergency and our global destiny.

Red Soil

Still from Red Soil. A woman looks directly at the camera. She is wearing large gold earrings and a blue patterned head scarf

Directed by Joshua Ighodaro

Exploring burial traditions as old as the Benin Kingdom, RED SOIL follows the family of Mama, a beloved Nigerian elder, as they prepare for her funeral. Following custom, the film offers an insight into the Edo State’s perspective on death. Over the course of three days, observing pilgrimage, music, prayer and dance, the film suggests a different form of mourning: a collective celebration of Life.
