Dead Fish
Synopsis
Date: not his best day
None of these were on his wish list:
1. Mimi (Elena Anaya), his Spanish girlfriend, announces she is pregnant and storms off to Madrid.
2. Debt collector Danny Devine (Robert Carlyle) gives Abe 24 hours to pay of his debts 'or else'.
3. Switching cell phones with Lynch (Gary Oldman), a neurotic hit man.
4. Being wanted dead by at least 2 assassins.
5. Getting a contract to kill a Dead Fish.
Abe has to get through the day, without being killed or killing anyone, earning enough dough to pay back Devine and most importantly making sure he doesn't lose the girl he loves.

A Skulk in London
Director: Polina Chizhova, James Stephen Wright
Year: 2018
The work “A Skulk in London” explores the human projections onto animal life from a satirical perspective. Its aim is research the life of urban foxes amid the Anthropocene environment of central London and the mythologies surrounding them to highlight the human tendency of understanding and perpetually interpreting the natural world limited by the point of view of “man”. The main character is a city man who becomes fascinated with finding nature in the city and is following urban foxes to fulfil his dream of wilderness. The character lives in a world of fantasy and does not consider the perspective and agency of urban wildlife. His obsession is so blinding and absorbing that he doesn’t realise that the fox he finds is, in fact, a dog in a costume.
