From Todd Haynes’ Safe to Paul King’s Bunny and the Bull, agoraphobia is alluring territory for fledgling filmmakers. It allows them to explore emotive, relatable character dramas while forcing them to get creative with a limited physical space. Such is the case with Keith Klopp’s Translations, which sees a housebound translator forced to confront her fears during a visit from her late brother’s best friend.
Stef (Kate Morgan-Jones) hasn’t left the house in years following the death of her older brother. Her isolation having exacerbated from an emotional episode to a fact of her daily life.

Host follows a group of young women –Haley Bishop, Jemma Moore, Emma Louise Webb, Radina Drandova and Caroline Ward (all playing characters that share their own names) – who come together via Zoom during lockdown to hold a séance with the assistance of a medium named Seylan (Seylan Baxter). Their friend Alan...
