Synopsis

When Stuart Shorter – a homeless alcoholic with a violent past – meets writer and charity worker Alexander Masters, they strike up an unlikely friendship. As Alexander learns more about Stuart’s complicated life and traumatic childhood, he asks if he can write his story and Stuart advises him to tell the story backwards, so that it's 'more exciting - like a Tom Clancy murder mystery'. As their remarkable alliance develops, Stuart gradually recounts his life story in reverse, his resilient personality and dry sense of humour giving the story an almost tragi-comic edge.

Through post-office heists, attempts at suicide and spells inside numerous institutions, Alexander is given a glimpse into a totally alien world and begins to understand how Stuart's life spiralled so badly out of control.

Synopsis

I'm not aware of you taking my skin, says the artist's mother to the camera as it zooms in on her eye as close as the lens will allow. Taking My Skin tracks a dialogue between the artist and her mother. Their exchange ranges from narrating the filming process 'in the moment' to relations in an earlier time - 'how long do you think it takes for a child to become separate?' Throughout the journey film spaces continuously dissolve and collapse only to separate again. Sometimes the artist is behind the camera, sometimes the mother, sometimes both simultaneously behind and in front, or neither. Both perform, film, and alternately instruct, position and direct the other. Formally and thematically, the film is an exploration of closeness, of synching, and the threat this poses to the self.

Synopsis

The Time Master introduces a series of tales about the weird and wonderful things that time can do. Time can send a young, struggling Shakespeare his completed works through a wormhole in space, before he's even written them, and can give Leonardo da Vinci a glimpse into the future.

Time can stop still, to give you the chance of revenge on a scheming enemy, or can repeat itself, so that you have the opportunity to save a friend and turn your life around.

Bad timing can mean that you miss out on the chance of hitting the big time in 1960s Liverpool, or it can put you in the wrong place at the wrong time with terrifying consequences. The impossible becomes possible in the world of the Fourth Dimension.
