Undertow

Neil Mcenery-West 27mins 12A
Undertow explores two journeys. The first is a
perpetual nightmare set in a deserted city. A
heightened and increasingly fragmented visual/sound
environment serves to create a physical world
reflecting the protagonists disturbed psychological
landscape. In the same city, only now populated and
overcrowded, a woman grieving begins to find the
world around her increasingly claustrophobic and
unbearable. Ordinary places and sounds take on an
ominous and foreboding presence.
As these two worlds collide, the lines between what is
real and what is not, what is remembered and what is
only imagined, become impossibly blurred.
Undertow is a film about perception, and how the way
you view the things around you is merely a reflection
of your own inner state. Drama, London

Babylon
100mins
Ital Lion crew are looking forward to a sound clash competition with rival outfit
Jah Shaka. But as the event approaches, Blue’s personal life begins to unravel.
Fired from his job by his racist boss (Mel Smith), he begins to suspect his
girlfriend is cheating on him. A further series of unpleasant racist incidents -
including Blue being chased, brutally beaten and arrested by a group of plainclothes
policemen - culminates in Ital Lion’s lock-up garage being broken into
and their sound equipment being destroyed. Increasingly angered and
alienated by what he perceives to be society’s rejection of his race and his
culture, Blue is compelled to respond by fighting fire with fire.
Directed by Franco Rosso (Dread Beat an’ Blood), co-written (with Rosso) by
Martin Stellman (Quadrophenia), and photographed by two-time Oscar®
winner Chris Menges (The Mission; The Killing Fields), Babylon is a raw and
incendiary film-making at its best.
