Perpetually single, Frederick envies his fabulous gay friend Joe, who seems to have a never-ending supply of paramours despite being happily married himself. But when Frederick’s meddling mother arrives for a visit, she thrusts him into a forbidden romance, and a series of unforeseen betrayals hilariously expose some carefully held secrets. Yn barhaol sengl, mae Frederick yn genfigennus o’i ffrind hoyw gwych Joe, sy'n ymddangos fel pe bai ganddo gyflenwad diddiwedd o gariadon er iddo fod yn briod ei hun, yn hapus. Ond pan fydd mam fusneslyd Frederick yn cyrraedd am ymweliad, mae hi'n ei wthio i ramant waharddedig, ac mae cyfres o fradychiadau annisgwyl yn datgelu rhai cyfrinachau.

Late night in a burger bar!&nbsp;&nbsp;Gay and straight, male and female, couples, singles and friends are beautifully observed by Norwegian filmmaker Magnus Mork in this short drama filmed on location in a Cardiff burger bar. Winner Sundance Film Festival Special Jury Award for Direction and Ensemble Acting&nbsp;&nbsp;

Burger

Full of comedy and human vulnerability, this is a story of recovery and the redemptive nature of love.&nbsp;When Amy catches her husband in the act, she falls down a flight of stairs and wakes up with amnesia – believing she is 16 and that the year is 1999. Aside from the wrinkles on her face, Amy is a teenager again – outspoken, hormonal, obsessed with emo poetry and, crucially, fixated with tracking down her high school best friend Polly. Last Amy remembers, they were joined at the hip. But Amy quickly realises that Polly doesn’t want anything to do with her, and Amy just cannot remember why.&nbsp;

Wild Geese

Leon’s loved and lost.&nbsp;He’s hit ground zero and never wants to go through that hell again. But then he meets someone incredible. Life seems full of possibility again. Inside his molecules are a hot mess and figurative butterflies are doing flash mobs in his tummy. BUT… what if he knew the ending before it even began? What if that ending involved more suffering? With all that painful baggage, could he have a second chance at true intimacy?&nbsp;
