Fog World
Synopsis
This film captures the hilarious diary of this failure, in which Ryan calls on a 4x4, a GPS gnawed by the cold, an elf and a Viking guide with whom he maintains a virtual correspondence. Moving between simulated reality, video games and cinema, the film explores the geography of a country marked by the exoticism of its landscapes, often used as backdrops for Hollywood movies. A hilarious look at the way in which new technologies condition our ways of representing territories.

Previs
Director: Ruaidhri Ryan
Year: 2024
Following a film director's journey from London to Los Angeles to meet a storyboard artist, Janet, who storyboards the journey the director has made to meet her. Searching for movie-worthy encounters, the director pursues epiphanies and main character moments while walking in the canyons and driving on the freeways of the cinematically saturated city. The storyboard sequence is altered when Janet unveils a shocking story of her own. Humorously riddled with digressions, PREVIS is at first an enlightening insight into the mysterious mechanics of movie-making, told through the collaborative dynamic of director and storyboard artist.

The Contract of the Century
Director: Christina D. Bartson
Year: 2027
An all-archival film which tells the story of the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline - one of the most ambitious energy projects of the 21st Century - and the scientists, activists, and farmers that came close to stopping it. Part ghost story, part road trip film, the feature documentary examines how the ghosts of the empire haunt the present, as the world burns.
Matter of Britain
Director: Peter Treherne
Year: 2026
MATTER OF BRITAIN was an English country village’s performance of the Holy Grail myth. In that myth, King Arthur’s knights quest for the Holy Grail in order to heal their wasted land. The performance took place over 12 months from 2023 to 2024 in multiple locations across the parish of Mayfield, East Sussex. Over 300 members of the community took part as questing knights, angelic choirs, guiding anchorites and tempting devils. The performance was documented and subsequently made into an ethnographic fantasy that has screened at the Museum of Modern Art, CPH:DOX, Cinéma du Réel and Open City Documentary Film Festival. The work was supported by an Arts Council England Project Grant, the Lund Trust, High Weald AONB, East Sussex Arts Partnership, the University of Reading and the Museum of English Rural Life.
