Siren

Synopsis

Escaping the city for a weekend away, company man Ken (Faith City’s Eoin Macken) and his girlfriend Rachel (Anna Skellern of Descent 2) meet up with an old friend, the exotic and worldly Marco (Anthony Jabre).

Their plan is simple, tour the local coast for a relaxing weekend in the wilderness. Things hit a snag when Marco spots a beautiful young girl, the sultry and seductive Silka (Eastern Promise’s unforgettable Tereza Srbova), waving for help off the shore of one of the many secluded islands. But if anyone needs help now, it’s them.

A dog in a crudely made fox costume is sat being fed by a yellow marigold glove on the end of a wooden pole. 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.
