 A dark Gothic tale of beauty, temptation and the price of eternal youth. When the beautiful young Dorian Gray has his portrait painted by artist Basil Hallward, he meets the cynical Lord Henry Wotton, who encourages him to pursue a life of pleasure and sensation. Dorian makes a desperate wish to remain young forever, while the portrait ages in his place. His wish comes true. As Dorian descends into a life of cruelty, corruption and indulgence, the portrait becomes increasingly withered and grotesque, while Dorian remains impossibly young and beautiful. His appearance protects him from suspicion, even as his reputation becomes darker. After murdering Basil and being hunted by James Vane, Dorian attempts to change his ways. But when he realises that even his supposed acts of goodness are motivated by vanity, he becomes desperate to destroy the portrait. He stabs the painting — but instead of destroying the curse, he destroys himself. The portrait becomes young and beautiful once again, while Dorian is transformed into the old, corrupted man he truly is. A haunting story of morality, identity, vanity and temptation, The Picture of Dorian Gray asks one unforgettable question: Is the pursuit of pleasure worth losing your soul?

Frank is a young man who appears to have his life together, but beneath the surface he is struggling with thoughts, emotions and problems that he refuses to confront. After being encouraged to seek help, he finds himself sitting in what appears to be a normal support-group meeting. But something isn't right. Instead of other people, Frank is confronted by the Seven Deadly Sins—Pride, Envy, Lust, Wrath, Greed, Gluttony and Sloth. Each character represents a different part of Frank's inner world and the ways he deals with his problems. As the meeting continues, the Sins begin to expose the things Frank has been hiding. They challenge his choices and the ways he tries to escape his problems. What begins as a simple conversation slowly becomes a battle inside Frank's mind. When faced with Death, Frank is forced to confront the question he has avoided for so long: Does he actually want to die, or does he simply want the pain to stop?

The Path of the Wayfinder follows Mahana, a young girl with a mysterious connection to the ocean. As her island begins to suffer, she discovers that her ancestors were once great Wayfinders and learns that the goddess Aetahi has lost her heart, throwing nature out of balance. 

Determined to save her home, Mahana sets out across the ocean, guided by Kai, the spirit of the sea. Along the way, she encounters the demigod Mauri, who must face the consequences of stealing Aetahi's heart, and Thaniwa, a dangerous and theatrical treasure-obsessed crab. 

As Mahana faces the challenges of her journey, she begins to question whether she is truly meant to be a Wayfinder. With the help of Kai and the wisdom of her grandmother, she discovers that finding her path is not about becoming who others expect her to be, but discovering who she truly is. 

By returning Aetahi's heart and restoring the balance of nature, Mahana saves her island and returns home transformed. She is no longer simply the daughter of a chief. She has become a Wayfinder.

Marie is a talented artist trapped in a soul-crushing job at Wentworth & Dross, an insurance company obsessed with shades of beige. When a mysterious antique shop gifts her an old paintbrush, she discovers it can turn her worst days into something better — a boss's cruelty becomes an accidental promotion, a mugging undoes itself by morning. But when her mother dies suddenly, Marie learns the brush can soften almost anything except the one thing she needs it to fix. In her grief, she breaks the brush, mends it with her own hands, and paints one last picture — of herself and her mother, together — and steps into it, disappearing for good. A magic-realist comedy, set in the 1930s, about a dead-end job, a secret talent, and the difference between what can be painted over and what can't.

Director: Amelia Oosthuizen
