Shooting Shona
Synopsis
Strange things are happening in Belsize Park. Anonymous love letters lie on the kitchen counter. Shona (Sam Burke) has been randomly receiving them for weeks. They make her uncomfortable, only reminding her of how lonely she really is. Her closest friends seem to be moving on in their lives.
One morning, Shona finds the shower running and her flatmate has vanished. It becomes apparent that something horrible may have happened when a sinister man (Daniel Gosling) breaks into her apartment and rummages through the place.
All the while she is certain that she is being followed.
Circumstances draw Shona to meet a mysterious man called Art (Tim Downie), and eventually his odd drug-dealing friend Leon (Blake Biddulph), and they find themselves piecing together the mystery of Shona's missing flatmate.

A Skulk in London
Director: Polina Chizhova, James Stephen Wright
Year: 2018
The work “A Skulk in London” explores the human projections onto animal life from a satirical perspective. Its aim is research the life of urban foxes amid the Anthropocene environment of central London and the mythologies surrounding them to highlight the human tendency of understanding and perpetually interpreting the natural world limited by the point of view of “man”. The main character is a city man who becomes fascinated with finding nature in the city and is following urban foxes to fulfil his dream of wilderness. The character lives in a world of fantasy and does not consider the perspective and agency of urban wildlife. His obsession is so blinding and absorbing that he doesn’t realise that the fox he finds is, in fact, a dog in a costume.
