Promotional image for My Father's Shadow. Three people are shown seated close together in an outdoor setting. A central figure wearing a purple striped shirt sits between two younger figures, one on the left in a light-coloured collared shirt and one on the right in a striped T-shirt. The background is softly blurred, drawing attention to the group in the foreground. Large white text overlays the centre of the image, reading: “UN CERTAIN REGARD”, “MY FATHER'S SHADOW”, and “BY AKINOLA DAVIS JR.” The image uses warm, muted tones and a close, intimate composition, emphasizing the connection between the three figures and reflecting the film's themes of family, memory and shared experience.

Illustrated promotional artwork for The Golden Spurtle. In the foreground, an older person wearing a green tartan flat cap, glasses and a blue jacket is shown from behind and in profile. One arm is raised, holding a large orange bowl filled with porridge aloft in a celebratory gesture. The background features a simple, hand-painted woodland scene with tall trees, rendered in soft watercolour tones. The image uses a warm, light colour palette with cream, green, orange and blue hues. The sketch-like illustration style evokes a sense of tradition, community and Scottish heritage, reflecting the documentary's focus on the World Porridge Championships.

For the Love of Cake

For the Love of Cake
Black-and-white still from The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. In the foreground, two figures stand against a backdrop of sharply angled, abstract set pieces characteristic of German Expressionist design. On the left, a figure dressed in dark clothing sits or crouches while looking toward the other figure. On the right, a figure in a light-coloured flowing gown stands with hands raised near the face. The background is filled with painted geometric shapes, distorted architectural forms and dramatic contrasts of light and shadow. The highly stylised composition creates an eerie, dreamlike atmosphere that reflects the film's themes of mystery, madness and illusion.

Promotional image for This Is Not My Film. Two people lie side by side facing one another against a bright yellow background. Each person is wrapped in a colourful sleeping bag, one in shades of red and orange and the other in bright blue, with their heads resting on camping pillows. The composition is closely cropped, focusing on the two figures and creating a sense of intimacy and conversation. The vivid contrasting colours and minimalist background give the image a warm, playful and contemporary appearance, suggesting themes of relationships, self-discovery and personal journeys.
