- An emergent Artificial General Intelligence communes with her human progenitors through the uncanny persona of Melania Trump.
- Before photography and film were invented and constructed the "Wild West", the famous explorer Meriwether Lewis, whose travels made the westwards expansion of the still young USA possible, died under mysterious circumstances. The present-day narrator of this film, a distant descendant, portrays him as the tragic hero of a speculative gay love story. The potential lover, Meriwether's "Louisiana Creole" servant John Pernia, is historically documented. But the archive material, which favoured the white folklore of the so-called age of pioneers, lays no trail to this romance. Ben Young wilds the early Western imagery and queers the nationalist historiography from the perspective of people who are missing in the tales of glory and whose originally free space was occupied by the settler movement and its subsequent legend formation. He uses associative montage and gossip to rehabilitate John and Meriwether, the undocumented romantic couple, as the real pioneers. And they have a score to settle with the U.S.
- Anthony Godby Johnson was an early 1990s New York City miracle: a boy who escaped years of horrific abuse only to discover that he was dying of AIDS. A boy who authored his own autobiography. A boy who earned friends and fans worldwide-and who did not exist. Featuring Oprah Winfrey and the remnants of Anthony Godby Johnson's long-forgotten television special alongside the first public glimpse of the hoaxer behind the myth, TONY FRAGINALS tells the inside story of the scandal from the perspective of the person for whom Tony was a childhood friend. It is an act of narrative reclamation: a coming of age story set within the command centre of an epic fraud.
- In the 1920s, the Klu Klux Klan briefly achieved the height of its power: not in the Deep South, but in the culturally liminal state of Indiana. Using never-before-seen archive, KLANDIANA explores the origin and horrors of Klan rule, and the legacy of historical amnesia that emerged in the era's wake.
- The starting point of this documentary exploration is a 1980s abuse scandal in Cleveland, northern England, which turned out to be a scandal of false accusations. In his uniquely personal and literarily remarkable way, Ben Young discusses this historical event from offscreen. What we see is surprising contemporary footage of the region. Image and sound unite in a strong-minded attempt to capture a piece of local history by cinematic means.
- An inventive examination of the legacy of the 1990s: In his experimental short film, Ben Young portrays the figure of the then U.S. president - whom he is said to have met once in person in Louisville, Kentucky - as a foil for the questionable political developments, the beginnings of a globalised world and a society marked by collective amnesia. The director's intelligent, witty and very personal reckoning with Bill Clinton.
- Three strangers converge at a management training day focused upon Leadership, Accountability, and Empathy. Their task: fire a colleague.
