UK Competition: House Of Mirrors 
Institute of Contemporary Arts
The Ban, dir. Roisin Agnew

Book tickets

Enter a maze of self-reflection and distortions in this collection of UK Competition films, selected from across the LSFF programme. 

Including one of the great acts of historical censorship in British broadcasting; a nostalgic immigrant yearning to return to their homeland; nightmarish visions manifesting in a lonely elderly woman's home; an absurd doodled interpretation of human existence; and a frenzied and demented rollercoaster ride through a young girl's betrayed subconscious.

Featuring Sundance alumni, Tomisin Adepeju (The Right Choice), and Dorothy Sing Zhang's mammogram clinic-set musical, Masterpiece Mommy, which premiered at Toronto International Film Festival.
