My Name Is Peter Stillman
Synopsis
Based on Paul Auster's critically acclaimed novel, 'City of Glass' this VR experience puts the user directly into the deeply emotional and disorientating story of Daniel Quinn, a reclusive crime writer who unwittingly becomes the protagonist in a real-life thriller of his own. The gripping, 4 minute experience combines hand-drawn animation and cutting edge technology to distort the line between reality and action, placing audiences at the centre of this narrative as the strange and haunting story unfolds. In a story about identity, 'My Name is Peter Stillman' makes us question who we really are in this fragile world.

Daughters of the Late Colonel
Director: Elizabeth Hobbs
Year: 2026
After the death of their ill-tempered and controlling father, middle-aged sisters Constantia (Con) and Josephine (Jug), find themselves at a loss. The story takes place in 1920 and is set within a European townhouse where Constantia and Josephine have always lived with their domineering father. The two sisters' mother died when they were young, and they have spent their lives enslaved to the rhythm and routine of Father’s house. Even in death they fear their father and imagine him springing out of the wardrobe or shouting at them from his grave. Over time, their father’s control diminishes and they find comfort in taking part in peaceful activities in each other’s company. An unexpected visitor also helps them to find the courage to begin their lives anew. A merry, rude, and lyrical, animated adaptation of the modernist short story written by Katherine Mansfield in 1920. In this adaptation the sisters will begin to assert themselves in joyful, unexpected ways that could only be depicted in animation.
