Journey Man
Synopsis
It's Christmas. He is starving, lost. Finally he seeks shelter in a pub.
He is thrown out by the landlord but unexpectedly touches the heart of Connie, the landlord's wife.
Our short film is an unusual and heartwarming fairytale that reaches beyond its topical subject matter. Whilst entirely fictional, the story is inspired by the real story of a recent asylum seeker to Britain.

Us Among The Stones
Director: Dictynna Hood
Year: 2019
The Withnail generation had children... and Owen is one of them. His memories of his wild childhood weave a spell on him – or was it the acid he accidentally took as a child? Weaving her spell too is his mother, the free-spirited Marianne. She is supposed to be on her deathbed – but she's not going quietly. The family gather at their crumbling farmhouse for her last birthday. Among the stones and the animals, they prepare for battle. Owen struggles to free himself from Marianne's web and win back his ex-partner Caroline. Along the way he must reckon with uncles, babies, brothers, sisters, children and dads. Love, pain, laughter, wine – and mushrooms. Everyone in this family longs to be free. Their quests play out like a game of hide and seek in the old house – a curiously timeless space full of secrets rich and strange.<br /> Official Selection BFI London Film Festival 2019 - Journey Strand - World premiere
