Late 21st-century Scotland. Joe and Maddie, new techno-age farmers, are protecting their land from a 'rogue Pharm' - a genetically engineered commune of humans who meld their DNA with the latest biotechnology to form marauding, morphing amoeba-like collectives. And this monstrous moving Pharm is one of many, roaming the land looking to plant 'stage trees', ferment rocket fuel and blast off leaving the pull of gravity for a new life on Jupiter.
An adaptation of Charles Stross's amazingly original science fiction piece and a groundbreaking animation, Japanese anime meets cyber Scotland.
Filmed in a caravan park at the end of the season, Sea Change reveals a landscape dramatically transformed by light and time, and resonating with the transience of human presence.
The old caravans that fill the site are soon to be removed and crushed to make way for a new housing development, so the film also acts as a kind of document for an unusual place on the brink of disappearance.
A ghost story. Set in the 1940s. Inspired by Bill Brandt's photography and classic English black and white movies such as The Innocents and Seance on a Wet Afternoon.
An unique sermon from a blaspheming american bishop which expresses his views on homosexuality, Chinese and African women, the ordination of gay priests and other irreligious topics. This short film is not for those of a faint disposition, strong religious beliefs, gays, straights, foreigners, men, women or children!
The Brittany Job is a documentary feature about two 'toshers' decorating a house in France. Deliberately twisting the makeover show format, the film explores their ambivalent and often comic relationship, unusual painting techniques, the creative process, and above all, colour.
