In a modern-day Lisbon, a city caught between locals and tourists, two art students drift through a weekend of sexual fluidity and late-capitalist burnout.

Synopsis

A filmmaker investigates who tried f*cking up her friends' lives a decade ago. It's 2015 in the quiet suburbs of London, and some anonymous loser attempts to frame a group of teens for smoking weed at school. Luckily, one of the group has now become a promising emerging documentary director ( me :D ), and will stop at nothing to find answers in this short comedy-drama-tragedy documentary, The Following People DO NOT Smoke Weed. Executive produced by Julie Cohen (RBG), Tim Wardle (3 Identical Strangers) and Susan Simnett (Brides), this is a coming-of-age fable that brings to life the skewed priorities, conspiracies and dubious confrontations with power that define our youth...

Synopsis

Inside this film’s carefully constructed dollhouse aesthetic lies a sinister moral, directly inspired by Victorian fables designed to scare children into obedience. A wistful, near-elegiac poem of a script, by writer/director duo Laura Hafes and Grace Cassidy, gives lyrical form to a narrated daydream that turns into nightmarish reality. Movement Director Araminta Wraith’s adept puppetry breathes life into a Medusa-like wig that overpowers its master. Each perfectly lit frame of Scarlett Gardner’s cinematography plays to the text’s theatrical nature, from a tracking shot through a hair-curtain opener to a final battle rendered in shadow and silhouette behind frosted glass. Official Selection, Uppsala Short Film Festival 2026
