Synopsis

Midway between the supernatural shenanigans of Halloween and the official pomp of Remembrance Day, 5th November is Bonfire Night in Britain. People go down to their local park to watch the fireworks and the burning of Guy Fawkes, executed for treason 400 years ago. Fire Festival takes a municipal Bonfire Night in Brixton, South London, as focus for a film about autumn, death and the spectacle of sacrifice.

Glaciers Requiem Glaciers Requiem

Director: Saddiq Abubakar

Year: 2026

In isolation on Iceland’s Snæfellsnes Peninsula, Nigerian-born modular synthesis artist Colloboh transforms glacial and oceanic recordings into sonic compositions - uncovering a dialogue between ice and sea that reshapes his understanding of consciousness, ecological collapse, and humanity’s place within both. As his process unfolds, Colloboh transforms these sounds into layered sonic works that blur the boundaries between observation and communion. The film culminates in a haunting gesture: he plays the completed composition back to the landscape itself, completing a dialogue between artist and environment. A meditation on impermanence, consciousness, and the fragile bond between humanity and the natural world.
