Silica
Director: Pia Borg
Year: 2017
An unseen location scout explores an opal mining town in South Australia in this sci-fi-laced essay film, which finds in this semi-deserted region both the traces of indigenous culture and remnants of cinema history.
Crystal World
Director: Pia Borg
Year: 2012
The corpse of a murdered woman finds its final resting place in the murky waters of the Ohio River. Her demise is at first unnoticed. But soon the frozen moment of her own death disturbs the cycle of the living above, encompassing in its breathless embrace both the guilty and the innocent. Crystal World uses underwater puppets, mono ammonium phosphate, prisms and time-lapse photography to crystallize fragments of Charles Laughton’s The Night of the Hunter.
Elephant Families
Director: Elena Escalante
Year: 2025
A wave of regeneration is hitting London’s working-class neighbourhoods. South of the river, the demolition of Elephant & Castle’s shopping centre has uprooted the community who made it their own. As they navigate an uncertain future, they carry with them the legacy of a place that once felt like home. Official Selection BFI London Film Festival 2025 - Short Film Competition - World premiere
