Synopsis

A film about fitting in, falling out, getting lost and getting back on track - telling the story of four very different but equally socially awkward people as they heroically muddle through life. Alf finds other people difficult to read. He lives in a world of his own; everyone else is an alien. With meaning so often lost in translation, Alf stumbles into friendship before falling head over heels in love. Josie is a dreamer. Having recently graduated from Art School she now finds herself drifting, searching for answers but asking all the wrong questions. Alison is stuck in her lonely habits. In a small town, it is too easy to keep going over all ground. She makes the same mistakes time and again. Tony is a hapless romantic. Twice married and seeking a new companion, he lets the need for approval stand in the way of true love. This is a story of hope - how you never know when a chance meeting or coincidence will change your life for the better. It's about the magic of moments and the influence we each have on each other, often without knowing it.

Synopsis

When her boyfriend Ben suddenly dies in an accident, mother-to-be Charlotte collapses upon receiving the news. She wakes up in Ben's family home, a crumbling old manor house in the middle of nowhere with Ben's overbearing mother, Margaret, and his controlling stepbrother, Thomas. They are determined to care for her, at least until the baby arrives. Griefstricken and increasingly haunted by visions possibly brought on by the pregnancy, Charlotte accepts their help. But as the days go by she begins to doubt their intentions and her suspicions grow. Are they drugging her and keeping her captive, with the aim of taking her unborn baby? As her visions intensify and the haze of lies grows, Charlotte decides that her only option is to break free from this family once and for all – but at what cost?

Synopsis

An 8-minute animated short set over two time periods. In 1999 a boy becomes obsessed with the Y2K bug; In the distant future a girl is learning to be a priest in a religion based upon the ‘artifacts’ left behind by the boy. The people in the future speak in a partially understandable dialect of English that has evolved over time. The cult of personality is terrifying, insane and at times hilarious. We are interested in how humans fabricate meaning and place their most deep-seated fears in the most unlikely of gods. The Year 2000 was simultaneously the beginning of the future, and the end of world. NEW YEAR is a humorous film that looks at humans struggling with their mortality, over thousands of years, through stories, ritual and religion.

Synopsis

Ominous cinegrams of Albrecht Dürer’s 'Melencolia' print intercut, like cascading scythes, with depictions of a woman in a field, evoking repetitions that exist in harvest rituals, as well as in gestures of madness. Spectres of familial anxieties creep into this loose take on the myth of Poludnica (noonwraith or Lady Midday), a Slavic harvest spirit that could cause madness in those who wandered the fields alone.
