Little Red Little Red

Director: Ben Barton

Year: 2011

"If you go down to the woods today you're sure of a big surprise. If you go down to the woods today, you'd better go in disguise..." An experimental reimagining of Little Red Riding Hood, this visual collage combines elements of fairytales and horror to reveal something unexpected lurking in the forest.

Getting Ready Getting Ready

Director: Ben Barton

Year: 2010

In 'Getting Ready' we watch a faded icon of stage and screen backstage as she prepares for the greatest performance of her life - a star-studded suicide. Captured on sumptuous super 8 film and evoking the spirit of old Hollywood, this vintage-style short premiered at the London Independent Film Festival.

A pale child-like figure floats in a dark, cavernous underwater space beneath a rippling blue-lit ceiling. Mystis

Director: Tatiana Collet Apraxine

Year: 2028

You awaken on a fog-shrouded shoreline and meet Echo, a strange child with a hole in their stomach. Together you cross a lantern festival where the veil between worlds is thinnest, sail into an ocean that opens beneath you, and descend through a portal into the Underworld. The Underworld moves through different facets of grief: a rave where silhouettes dance in slow motion, indifferent to Echo's attempts to reach them; a frozen sea where giant statues crack open to release a buried memory of a lost mother; a shadow theatre where an anger monster is unleashed, reducing everything to embers. From the embers, a boat carries you into a vast darkness, where Mother appears, and they are finally reunited. You sail together to the Tree of Life, a bioluminescent, cosmic jungle. Echo begs her to return to the World of the Living, but ancestors appear and surround you. She cannot come back - the journey was never about bringing her back. Echo, revealed to be your own child self, dissolves around you as the hole fills with light.
