Synopsis

British writer Devorah Baum has to go tour America with her first book – a guide to guilt, paranoia, self-hatred, envy, and all the other feelings currently tearing our world apart. With two small kids in tow, she is stressed out. Surely her husband, Josh, can help? But the feelings laid bare in the book soon get played out between them, revealing how much remains stubbornly unreconstructed in our supposedly modern relationships. A searingly honest marriage comedy on the cusp between autofiction and documentary, it's a love letter to New York, literary life, and, er, Zadie Smith.

Synopsis

What do a peak fitness racehorse and a traumatised ex-soldier have in common? Both have been taught to do one thing well, and both are hyper-vigilant, reacting to the smallest stimulus. This documentary follows two infantry ex-soldiers over two years, from their first encounter with the horses until they emerge with a new sense of who they are and who they can be. At its heart, this is a film about how we can start again.

Synopsis

Two hands, Glynid and Hynus, are trapped together indoors. As they talk, we learn that they are waiting for a virus wreaking havoc in the outer world. Glynid is an anxiety-riddled know–it–all who dogmatically follows ‘the science,’ while Hynus is an ignoramus whose nonsensical belligerence highlights their absurd situation. They argue over what precautions to take, what the statistics mean, and how to pass the time. Endless desperate moves ensue as the pair attend a virtual Shibari workshop, create pubic hair art, compose a virus-themed anthem, and partake in cleansings and poisonings, before remembering they have a child that they may have accidentally left outside. Deciding to leave to find the child, they stay. This puppet show, drawing from Beckett’s Waiting for Godot, satirizes the Covid-19 era. Connected to the outside by a window that doubles as a screen, what begins as a waiting game soon unravels into paranoiac exchanges, conspiratorial musings, and bouts of reflection that lead to self–loathing in one hand and self–care in the other. As the objects that once held meaning to them disappear while they wait, a new reality grows around them, if only they had eyes to see it.

Synopsis

We are in a time revolution right now. We break time down into smaller fragments, so we can get more out of each minute, more lifespan, more speed. And yet, we are fractured , out of sync with nature. We have sacrificed significance for speed. More and more of us want to slow down, take stock, savour life, but are swept along in the world’s frantic pace. How do we step out of this? How do we find meaning in our finite lives? MAKING TIME is about how we experience time, told through the lens of five horologists, whose creations measure time in sure and steady beats. Their stories reveal something about how to live and how to use our time well. They tell what it means to search deep to find your purpose and follow your dream. And they speak to us about alchemy. Alchemy in the transformation of dull raw materials into valuable golden objects certainly, but deeper still, in the transformation of experience - sorrow, loss, love - into art. The pulse of the timepieces they create synchronises with the pulse running through all of life.
