Construction Lines
Director: Max Colson
Year: 2017
A short, animated film about the interior of an 'iceberg' home (a home where the sub-ground levels are larger than the house above). The iceberg home in question was not developed due to hundreds of objections from surrounding neighbours in Knightsbridge, West London. CONSTRUCTION LINES shows this iceberg home rendered as a 3D model, using the original architectural plans and the software ‘Sketchup’. The narrative of the film, the model of the home, and the scenes played out within it, are informed by the objections filed against the planning application, as well as online articles speculating about the lives and lifestyles of the super-rich.

What You Remember
Director: Pauline Blanchet
Year: 2028
How do we remember the past when our history has been faked? One man’s idea to rebuild a capital on the foundations of an unfinished city erased a collective memory, casting a dark shadow over Skopje's future identity.
You Are Not Part of The Cake
Director: Ting-Jui Chen
Year: 2025
A girl, Ping, faces conflict with her girlfriend Lala's homophobic and aggressive father. As tensions escalate, Ping is forced to take action to save herself and kills him. Then she makes him into a cake. This act becomes a ritual of transformation - a severing of ties, a step into anew phase of life.
