Synopsis

Max lives to explore the world, so when his best friend Jason asks him on a journey up onto the Tibetan Plateau in search of new sources of Yak wool it seems like a slam dunk. But for once Max is reluctant to go away as his wife, Rebecca, is six months pregnant. But with her encouragement he changes his mind and so begins a journey into a ‘heart of darkness’. Inspired by Dante's Divine Comedy and the paintings of Hieronymus Bosch. The film was shot on location in Tibet, China, the Himalayas, Oman, Morocco, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Poland and Northern Ireland. For the audience it is both an epic physical journey and an intimate mental exploration. The story has moments of life and death, birth and burial and as such has much in common with the Tibetan book of the dead and the concept of the wheel of life.

Synopsis

The People's Cloud is a project investigating the ecology and impact of cloud computing on the lives of those who use it, the places it is physically located in and the people who work to maintain it. Traveling Europe in search of the infrastructure of the internet, the film surveys the acoustic properties of such locations and their relationship with the overall environmental and geopolitical impact of mobile data storage. Interviews take place with engineers, technicians, manufacturers, marketing experts, salespeople, economists, husbands, wives, family members, academics, cultural thinkers and artists and we discover what 'the cloud' means to them and what this data boom has meant to their lives.

Synopsis

A film about a place, its people and all the things that make life...life. Told through the eyes of ten different perspectives this is a film about love and relationships in the city. We follow Grace, a writer researching her new project. Weighed down with the guilt of her current relationship, and surrounded by the very things she’s attempting to write about yet also trying to avoid, Grace struggles with that burning question - what is love all about? Her research - a “I Saw You” column in a local magazine, allows her to dip into the lives of others also dealing with the very same thing. Funny, heart-warming, sometimes harrowing, we explore the concept of love. Whether it be nature, nurture, or in fact just science. Ten stories. Eight writers. Ten directors. One question... What is love all about?
