An interwoven seaside hymn to gift wrapped promises and unwanted presence.

A new generation of young female activists uncovers a powerful, often overlooked chapter of women's history and the alarming reality of British nuclear armament. As they navigate the complexities of teenage life and social activism, three young women – Poppy, Xanthe, and Evie – embark on a journey of discovery, following in the footsteps of over 30,000 women who forty years earlier united in peaceful, liberating protest, the remarkable Greenham Common Women's Peace Movement.

King for a Day is a poetic archive-led documentary immersing us in the personal story of the people of Padstow in Cornwall, their ancient rituals and the challenges they face in a rapidly changing world. The tension between tradition and progress highlights the importance of cultural identity and the role of folk customs in our globalised society. King for a Day is an intimate portrait of a place and community pushed to the margins. A cinematic journey interweaving audio-visual archive spanning 150 years. Will this be the last generation to tease the ‘Old Oss’ from his stable to welcome the Summer?
