ABANDONED
Meet the Filmmaker
Synopsis
Chasing a viral video to save their channel and friendship, two urban explorers break into a derelict facility scarred by sinister experiments. Trapped among its secrets, they enter a nightmare where history manifests as evil.
ABANDONED is a cinematic found-footage horror following two urban explorers dragged into a nightmare while filming in a derelict testing facility.
Jess and Adam run Beyond The Map, a failing "urbex" YouTube channel. After years of mounting debt, poor viewership and dead-end locations, their dedication has soured to desperation. Jess has even interviewed for a stable editing job, lacking the heart to tell Adam she’s had enough.
After a tip-off from a new subscriber, Adam convinces Jess to investigate a sprawling, abandoned facility set deep in the woods in Northern England. While Adam scouts the perimeter of the compound with his drone, an argument breaks out and Jess lets her plans slip. Distracted Adam crashes the drone on top of the building and, driven by the need to save their expensive uninsured equipment, Adam rushes inside to retrieve it. Jess has no choice but to follow.
They reconcile inside the crumbling walls of the building, falling back to the familiar rhythm of humour masking old frustrations. The location is everything they hoped for; but as its true nature seeps into the light, the atmosphere closes in. Corridors begin to stretch into unnatural darkness, and Jess’s instinct to leave becomes an obsession.
They discover the building was a Morbex Institute testing facility, the site of sinister human experimentation until a catastrophic failure in the 1970s. When Adam cuts his hand and a strange black liquid infects the wound, the situation spirals. Night falls in minutes, the building "awakens" and the exits vanish.
As Adam’s paranoia consumes him, Jess is driven underground, forced to choose beyond saving the friend she was ready to leave or surviving the night alone.

Astray ("DWAALSPOOR")
Meet the Filmmaker
Synopsis
Officers Kim van Beveren and Jeroen Koonings have been working together in the police force for over five years. Kim is a true professional who stands out from many of her colleagues. She lives for her work, unlike Jeroen. He is much more pragmatic and sees his job as nothing more than work.
After a long day of meaningless reports, which nevertheless kept them busy, the duo is tired and wants nothing more than to go home. At the last minute, they are sent to a report from an elderly couple, Bert and Clarissa van Zittaert.
Upon arrival, they find a tense Bert, who tells them about strange noises around the house. These noises started after an accident that left Clarissa in a wheelchair, to which she has been confined ever since. Although Kim suspects that there is more going on with the elderly couple, there are no clues to warrant further investigation. The report seems like a standard end to an exhausting shift.
But what starts as a routine report quickly turns into a nightmare when Kim and Jeroen are confronted with a discovery that tests not only their fears, but also their beliefs.

Meet the Filmmaker
Synopsis
On New Year’s Eve, 1986 Oleg Proshkin, a low-level Soviet investigator, gets called out to a disturbance — in his own apartment building.
Something’s off the moment he steps into the courtyard, and when he unlocks his door, he finds strangers inside. They’ve made themselves at home. Waiting for him: a Santa Claus he’s never seen before — and a disturbingly intelligent dog named Shapka. Santa says he’s been looking for Proshkin for years. When Proshkin was a boy, he mailed a postcard asking to be sent into space — the same space where, according to his mother, his father flew and never came back. Proshkin tries to fight. Tries to shout. It doesn’t matter. Santa drops the jolly act. He overpowers him, yanks a gift sack over his head, and hauls him off — past the rooflines, out into the black.
A surreal ride into the unstable architecture of human memory, and the hairline crack between reality and madness we all balance on — right up until it gives way.
