Synopsis

Bulgarian-born American-raised rapper Dali From The Valley, or Dimitar Ognyanov, dies, and when at the gates of the afterlife, he meets The Gatekeeper, and together they must decide if he belongs Above or Below. This follows a recollection of Dali’s life: through his American upbringing, his Bulgarian heritage, his complicated relationship with his sister, the loss he feels having never met his mother; his reunion with his estranged father, as well a depiction of the seemingly meaningless life of excess he’s led, his entourage, the endless troubles with various partners, and a long, long trip down a memory lane of all the mistakes Dali’s made and all the pain he’s caused. The film explores themes of cultural belonging, the weight of memories, nature vs. nurture, the pain of staying at the top, love, finality, and whether our choices define us.

Synopsis

CRYBABY is a deeply personal animated short by Welsh filmmaker Eleri Edwards, created through Ffilm Cymru’s Beacons scheme and produced by Biggerhouse Film, a company dedicated to amplifying marginalised voices. Drawing on her own experiences of late-diagnosed autism, Edwards crafts an intimate portrait of self-discovery, memory, and the struggle against internalised negativity. The film follows Carys, a 24-year-old woman packing boxes as she prepares to leave her parents’ house. What begins as a simple act of moving soon dissolves into an otherworldly landscape where she is overwhelmed by endless boxes and the haunting weight of her past. Lurking in the shadows is Carys’s internal voice, brought to life as an angry, chaotic scrawl of pencil scribbles - an embodiment of self-doubt and internalised stigma. As she sorts through the fragments of her childhood, memories of early school days and teenage sleepovers resurface, revealing the pain of exclusion and misunderstanding that shaped her. The 2D animation shifts fluidly between reality and imagination, capturing the turbulence of Carys’ inner world. CRYBABY is both a personal reckoning and a universal story - an exploration of autism, mental health, and the fight to silence the critic within.
