Rogue Farm
Synopsis
Late 21st-century Scotland. Joe and Maddie, new techno-age farmers, are protecting their land from a 'rogue Pharm' - a genetically engineered commune of humans who meld their DNA with the latest biotechnology to form marauding, morphing amoeba-like collectives. And this monstrous moving Pharm is one of many, roaming the land looking to plant 'stage trees', ferment rocket fuel and blast off leaving the pull of gravity for a new life on Jupiter.
An adaptation of Charles Stross's amazingly original science fiction piece and a groundbreaking animation, Japanese anime meets cyber Scotland.

Konadu Yiadom Gyamfi takes a poetry-led journey through Ghana and the experience of female welder Stella A true story captured through poetry, director and poet Konadu Yiadom Gyamfi follows the journey of Stella, a female welder from Uganda. Shot in Ghana, the film showcases the profound impact of faith in guiding her towards success in a world that often challenges her path as a woman. “There are so many diverse and captivating stories to be explored within this beautiful and complex continent but we don’t often hear the stories of women from their own mouths. Platforming stories like Stella’s is how we start moving forward in portraying Africa and its people.” Defying expectations through her resilience and passionate dedication to her craft, Stella transcended early challenges she faced by entering into a program for young women, now a working welder in spite of societal beliefs regarding women’s roles. Evolving over several months of close collaboration between Stella and Gyamfi, the film illustrates Stella's life and the local landscape through insightful conversations tracing her path into welding, lensing a remarkable reality that confronts narratives on African women that strip away their agency.
