ISH and STRAIGHT CIRCLE are heading to Venice Critics’ Week 2025.

Directed by Oscar Hudson, STRAIGHT CIRCLE takes us into a disorienting nightmare that gradually takes hold of two enemy soldiers stationed on a lonely desert border in this mind-bending picture.

As for Imran Perretta’s ISH, it follows two best friends who face the end of childhood when racial profiling and a traumatic police stop-and-search tear them apart. It teaches Ish about letting go in a society where brown boys are constantly watched.

Both these unique titles also happen to be first features.
