Feeder Feeder

Director: Joseph Ernst

Year: 2010

Feeder - A short film that will make you feel sick. We want it. We buy it. We eat it. We swallow it down whole. But what does our body see when we stick it in our mouth? Filmed entirely from inside the mouth, Feeder tells a story, a simple story of excess over the course of a single day, without characters, locations or dialogue.

A young black man is shown running across an outdoor basketball court An Unimaginable Leap

Director: Hope Pearl Strickland

Year: 2026

St, Mary’s Parish, Jamaica, April 1760, in a cave near what is now known as Tacky Falls, Tacky’s Rebellion is unfolding as the most significant revolt of the eighteenth-century in the Caribbean, three decades before the Haitian Revolution. AN UNIMAGINABLE LEAP traverses loosely associated events and places: 16mm footage of daily life in contemporary Jamaica; caves as portals; and a celebration of Jamaican Independence Day at a cricket club in Manchester. Moments of respite and celebration are negotiated alongside the threat of ecological degradation and bauxite mining, in order to consider the relationship between revolutionary time, the climate emergency and cinematic form.
