Synopsis

The journey of a young boy.
 

Synopsis

Blurring the line between live action and animation, this is a remarkable re-telling of a seminal event in British and Anglo-Jewish history. A young boy is taken inside the magical world of his own sketchbook by his grandfather, and shown what it was like when Oswald Mosley's 'blackshirt fascists' attempted to march through the East End of London.

Synopsis

This documentary is a Trojan horse; strikingly using richly layered animation to smuggle through the audience’s compassion fatigue a story of two Ugandan women affected by HIV/AIDS. The Beloved Ones has a distinctive visual style, lyrical and impressionistic. This lends itself to the depiction of an Africa that despite its problems is a home to full lives, not just a series of tragic statistics.

Synopsis

The Farm is a visual exploration emphasising the beauty of the countryside and, through the introduction of the city, highlights its rapid and unattractive decline. The farmer and his livestock can do little but sit back and watch while the farm shrinks, becoming an island in a sea of urban housing.

Synopsis

Set in a Surrealistic African savannah cum ballet studio, a romance blossoms between a giraffe and a ballerina. On the surface they seem alike, but as we burrow further into the relationship we see unsolvable differences of spirit. He is a non-communicative creature of low intelligence and she is a highly-strung and incredibly self-analytical individual whose needs any giraffe would have difficulty fulfilling. Though the romance ends sorrowfully, the tale ends with a note of hope: our pointy-toed protagonist has learnt a valuable lesson about relationships, which she will henceforth apply to her love life.

Synopsis

Full of absurd humor, the film is a poetic story of a sailor lost in the waves and a woman waiting for him in a small house by the sea. Will the boat reach the coast safely? This atmospheric film blends miniature stop-motion worlds with CGI animation and live-action.
