‘Jackdaw’ (2024)

Set over a single night in England’s North East, ‘Jackdaw’ follows a former motocross champion and army veteran named Jack who’s scraping by when he takes a risky pickup job in the North Sea that spirals into danger for him and his family. The cast features Oliver Jackson-Cohen as Jack, Jenna Coleman as Bo, Thomas Turgoose as Craig, and Rory McCann as Armstrong. The film clocks in at 97 minutes and lands this week on Tuesday, September 16.

Written and directed by Jamie Childs in his feature debut, the production shot on locations around Hartlepool and the Tees Valley, with Will Baldy as cinematographer and editing by David Fisher. The score is by Deadly Avenger and Si Begg, and the production outfit includes Anton alongside Never / Sleep Pictures and support from North East Screen.

‘Alone’ (2025)

‘Alone’ is a psychological horror story centered on Felicia, a domestic-violence survivor trying to endure pandemic lockdown while a menacing figure known only as “Black Boots” seems to stalk her every move. Mandi Mellen leads the cast as Felicia, with Dan Salem as Charles and Princess Punzalan as Dr. Whitney; supporting players include Emily Jira, Kathy Ann Wittes, Rahul Chakraborty, and Doug Hurley. It’s on the slate this week for Thursday, September 18.

The film is co-written and co-directed by Mandi Mellen and Dan Salem. Developed through their indie banner, the project builds out its dread through claustrophobic interiors and unreliable reality, leaning on character POV rather than jump-scares. The filmmakers expanded the concept from earlier short-form teasers into a feature-length narrative during the post-lockdown production cycle.

‘Swiped’ (2025)

‘Swiped’ dramatizes the real-life arc of entrepreneur Whitney Wolfe Herd, charting her early days in tech, her departure from Tinder, and the creation of Bumble with its women-first messaging. Lily James plays Wolfe Herd, with Dan Stevens portraying Andrey Andreev; the ensemble also includes Myha’la, Jackson White, Ben Schnetzer, Pierson Fodé, Clea DuVall, Dermot Mulroney, Ian Colletti, Pedro Correa, Coral Peña, Joely Fisher, Dan Bakkedahl, Ciara Bravo, and others. It’s set for Friday, September 19.

The film is written and directed by Rachel Lee Goldenberg, with additional writing by Bill Parker and Kim Caramele. Behind the camera, Doug Emmett handles cinematography, Julia Wong edits, and Chanda Dancy provides the score. Produced by Jennifer Gibgot, Andrew Panay, and Lily James, the biographical drama runs approximately 110 minutes under the 20th Century Studios and Ethea Entertainment banners.

‘Lilith Fair: Building a Mystery’ (2025)

This feature documentary chronicles the 1997–1999 rise of Lilith Fair, the all-female touring festival launched by Sarah McLachlan that reshaped the live-music landscape for women artists. Interviews and archival material trace how the tour challenged industry gatekeeping while showcasing performers including McLachlan, Sheryl Crow, Erykah Badu, Jewel, Bonnie Raitt, Brandi Carlile, Emmylou Harris, and contemporary reflections from Olivia Rodrigo. It arrives this week on Sunday, September 21.

Directed by Ally Pankiw and produced by Dan Levy and Christina Piovesan, ‘Lilith Fair: Building a Mystery’ assembles hundreds of hours of concert footage, backstage moments, and new sit-downs into a 99-minute chronology of the festival’s three-year run and legacy. Cinematography is by Nina Djacic with editing from Eamonn O’Connor, Navin Harrilal, Peter Mishara, and Omar Majeed, drawing inspiration from the oral history “Building a Mystery” to frame the larger cultural impact.
