Credible Likeable Superstar Role Model Credible Likeable Superstar Role Model

Director: Rebecca Brand

Year: 2016

A ‘pop-u-mentary’ following award-winning performance artist Bryony Kimmings and her 10-year old niece Taylor as they try to combat the hyper-sexualised and commercialised world of pop by creating their very own alternative popstar role model for Tweens (7 – 12 year old girls). They launch their creation into the world and measure her impact against a series of ‘Fame Aims’, including one million hits on YouTube and national radio play for one of her songs. Bryony and Taylor’s adventure sees them perform to thousands of children, garner national media attention, and takes them to the other side of the world and back. But the impact it has closer to home is perhaps the most powerful of all. This feature-length documentary is an upbeat and inspirational film for anyone who cares about the impact of the media we consume.

Baku oilfields circa 1970 The Contract of the Century

Director: Christina D. Bartson

Year: 2027

An all-archival film which tells the story of the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline - one of the most ambitious energy projects of the 21st Century - and the scientists, activists, and farmers that came close to stopping it. Part ghost story, part road trip film, the feature documentary examines how the ghosts of the empire haunt the present, as the world burns.

Director: Peter Treherne

Year: 2026

MATTER OF BRITAIN was an English country village’s performance of the Holy Grail myth. In that myth, King Arthur’s knights quest for the Holy Grail in order to heal their wasted land. The performance took place over 12 months from 2023 to 2024 in multiple locations across the parish of Mayfield, East Sussex. Over 300 members of the community took part as questing knights, angelic choirs, guiding anchorites and tempting devils. The performance was documented and subsequently made into an ethnographic fantasy that has screened at the Museum of Modern Art, CPH:DOX, Cinéma du Réel and Open City Documentary Film Festival. The work was supported by an Arts Council England Project Grant, the Lund Trust, High Weald AONB, East Sussex Arts Partnership, the University of Reading and the Museum of English Rural Life.
