Having been the CEO of non-profit Girls for a Change since 2012, Angela Patton never thought she’d have the time to make a documentary. And yet the release of Daughters, which she’s co-directed with Natalie Rae, is on the horizon. Chronicling a programme pioneered by Patton that arranges daddy-daughter dances in prisons, the documentary follows both the fathers as they receive life-coaching sessions in the run-up to the event and the daughters as they process their feelings about seeing their dads again.

Self Expression - Layla a non-binary, British-Palestinian drag queen navigates their expression of identity.
Rising star Bilal Hasna delivers a show-stopping turn as Layla, who we first meet in drag and on their way to a performance. Layla initially seems comfortable with their queer, trans identity, but all that changes when they fall in love with Max (Louis Greatorex). We see Layla acting differently whether they are with Max, their friendship group and their conservative parents as they struggle, notes Al-Kadhi, to 'negotiate which bit of themselves to show different people in their lives'.
Grin and Bear it - SMILE 2 Trauma-horror sequel sees the curse latch onto a pop superstar...
Parker Finn's debut horror feature Smile was originally destined for a streaming release. No one - not even the writer/director himself - expected that a late change to theatrical would create a hit horror sensation that made almost 13 times its budget at the box office. Given those figures, the swift greenlighting of a sequel came as less of a shock. But Finn didn't want to make a second movie just for the sake of it.
