Burlesque Burlesque

Director: Tim Shore, Gary Thomas

Year: 2008

Five soldiers prepare and enact a performance that alludes to the aggressively physical games of the British public school. Art Deco locations reference imperialistic ambitions that have determined the role of the ‘soldier’, and that have led to the racism and violence ‘exhibited’ in the Abu Ghraib images.

Chimney at former Carl Lindstroem Gramophone Company, Berlin Alarm Notes

Director: Anthea Kennedy, Ian Wiblin

Year: 2025

A poetic memoir and political report, shot in Berlin and Leipzig, and in landscapes around the British Isles. The film’s narrative builds out from the events of the Reichstag Fire in Berlin in 1933 in which the pioneering German-Jewish sound recordist, Ludwig Koch, on whom the film ultimately centres, plays a minor role, placing him and his family in danger. The film is structured in two parts, juxtaposing Koch’s persecution in Nazi Germany with his experiences as a refugee recording bird song and other sounds in Britain. <br /> The film’s images of contemporary urban and rural terrains, and of objects and documents, create a collision between past and present. Shifts in time are further emphasised through the use of Koch’s original sound recordings from Germany and Britain which feature throughout the film.

The Dunes The Dunes

Director: Kristian Evans, Nathan Roach

Year: 2025

Exploring the perspective of a teenage, neurodivergent, working-class runaway, seeking refuge and sanctuary from a normative society, in the seemingly desolate dunelands of the Glamorgan coast. These dunes, until very recently, have been a disregarded and remote place, considered by all but a few enthusiasts to be little more than wasteland.
