Satu: Year of the Rabbit (12A)

When a bomb endangers the Pha Tang temple, Satu an orphan child labourer decides to head north through the rich and feral landscape of Laos in search of his long lost mother with his new photojournalist friend Bo.

A visually arresting and emotionally resonant film, Satu: Year of the Rabbit explores themes of identity, displacement, and belonging through the journey of a young girl navigating an unfamiliar world. Shot with poetic realism and a distinctive cinematic voice, the film has cemented Joshua Trigg as an emerging talent to watch.

Following a remarkable festival journey, Satu: Year of the Rabbit has garnered multiple accolades, including being nominated for Best Debut Director and The Raindance Maverick Award at the British Independent Film Awards (BIFA) and shortlisted for the prestigious Gandhi Peace Prize at the India International Film Festival. The film is officially BAFTA-qualifying and is hoping to pick up a BAFTA Cymru, with director Joshua Trigg set to appear as part of the BAFTA Cymru Guru Panel this year.
