Darkest Before Dawn

Synopsis

Inspired by real people, debut filmmaker Leah Stipic brings us Darkest Before Dawn: a thought-provoking, experimental short film. Combining live and animation in a graphic novel style, this tour-de-force is visually stunning, surreal and dream-like.

The film tells the story of a heroin addict on the brink of losing himself to his addiction. As dusk falls upon the city he meets others who have also fallen on hard times and decides to fight for a second chance as he realises that oftentimes, one needs to fall into the darkest depths of the night before seeing the light at dawn.

A young black man is shown running across an outdoor basketball court An Unimaginable Leap

Director: Hope Pearl Strickland

Year: 2026

St, Mary’s Parish, Jamaica, April 1760, in a cave near what is now known as Tacky Falls, Tacky’s Rebellion is unfolding as the most significant revolt of the eighteenth-century in the Caribbean, three decades before the Haitian Revolution. AN UNIMAGINABLE LEAP traverses loosely associated events and places: 16mm footage of daily life in contemporary Jamaica; caves as portals; and a celebration of Jamaican Independence Day at a cricket club in Manchester. Moments of respite and celebration are negotiated alongside the threat of ecological degradation and bauxite mining, in order to consider the relationship between revolutionary time, the climate emergency and cinematic form.

Andy becomes desperate to save Ted from himself and hold everything together, even as it becomes clear that some things will never be the same.
