- In the spring of 1981 Irish Republican Bobby Sands' 66-day hunger strike brought the attention of the world to his cause. Drawing on an Irish Republican tradition of martyrdom, Sands' emotive, non-violent protest to be classified as a political prisoner became a defining moment in 20th century Irish history. Sands' death after 66 days marked a key turning point in the relationship between Britain and Ireland, and brought a global spotlight to the Northern Irish conflict which eventually triggered international efforts to resolve it. 66 DAYS is a major feature length documentary exploring Sands' remarkable life and death, 35 years on from his ultimate sacrifice. The spine of the film is comprised of Sands' own words, drawn from his hunger strike diary, a unique insight into the man and his beliefs as he embarked on his final journey. Directed by award winning filmmaker Brendan J Byrne and produced by Trevor Birney of Fine Point Films, this landmark non-fiction feature film will have its world premiere at a major international film festival in 2016.

- HEAR MY VOICE is a cinematic tribute to those who suffered loss as a result of the Northern Irish conflict (1968-1998). Timed to mark the 20th anniversary of the Good Friday agreement that brought violence to an end, the film is inspired by artist Colin Davidson's elegiac exhibition of paintings, Silent Testimony. Using Davidson's paintings as the film's visual spine, HEAR MY VOICE paints its own impactful portrait of life after loss in a cinematic exploration of survival and the strength of the human spirit. Each of the portrait sitters are linked by profound loss, with their own unique story to tell. The sheer scale and detail of the portraits allows for close examination of the lines, brush strokes and layers of paint that make up the subjects' faces, their eyes and expressions saying so much more than any filmed interview could convey; horror and dignity etched in equal measure. The interviews with the sitters are used in audio only, avoiding comparison with the real person and allowing a detailed study of their portraits. The exhibition was hung and filmed in a disused warehouse, echoing the ghosts of the sitter's lost loved ones. The camera cuts between elegant tracks of each of the paintings, revealing the curved lines between the brush strokes, craters between the paint which creates space for the audience to contemplate the tragic nuances behind the unfolding stories. The film gives a neglected voice to those citizens who are still paying the price of Northern Ireland's peace today, their experiences as relevant to those surviving loss in other cauldrons of conflict such as Syria, Iraq and Rohinga, or those families recovering from random acts of violence in Paris, Berlin or Toronto. Complemented by a classical score by composer Brian Byrne, the beautiful cinematography of Richard Kendrick and the skilful editing of Greg Darby, HEAR MY VOICE becomes a poetic testament to the resilience of Northern Ireland's forgotten victims and a cri de couer for an Ireland free of armed conflict.
- The Alexander Complex unravels a bizarre tale of intrigue, politics and money as an international group of 'gentlemanly explorers', all with pseudonyms to protect their identities, come together in a quest to solve the mystery of the missing tomb of Alexander the Great, one of the most significant figures in human history. An Algerian ex-soldier, code-named The Inventor, who practices amateur archaeology, claims to have found Alexander's tomb in Jordan, and claims that it is filled with thousands of tons of gold and precious jewels. Sitting with the find of the millennium, the man sets in motion a project that has all the elements of a movie thriller, and a desert quest. Telling only one person - a well-connected businessman - the two men bring on board a crew of academics, scientists, diplomats, and international businessmen in a hunt that involves royal families, the military, and a number of costly archaeological expeditions. Will the group discover the resting place of history's greatest military commander? The intrigue lies not just in what is in the tomb, but in the team itself: all men and women of Alexandrian qualities, radical achievers gambling all and fearing naught.
