Goodnight Jennifer
Director: Simon Tatum
Year: 2004
Somewhere in London, two people tired of being alone, find themselves chatting on a dateline. As they talk their confidence grows. They both begin to talk about themselves in more elaborate and exaggerated ways. Finally they agree to meet. The initial excitement evaporates as reality kicks in. They can't possibly live up to the ridiculous images they have created in each others minds - or can they? (Written, shot and edited within 48 hours).
Choked
Director: Travis Alabanza
Year: 2026
Shakona doesn't always want to be treated so nicely, sometimes she wants to feel like the world does: chaotic. Yet she can't get her devoted and loving boyfriend Eddie to meet her needs, so she goes to where all good decisions are made, a hookup app. Just as it seems like Shakona is finally letting go, she has the chance to take power into her own hands...
Tracing Transcendental Tone
Director: Julian Konczak
Year: 2025
Following a pilgrimage through the sacred sounds of India – a land of many faiths, including Vedanta, Islam and Buddhism. Using striking visual material accompanied by an evocative, multi-layered soundtrack, the audience is taken on a unique sonic journey through the sacred sound practices of many of the world’s key religions. A combination of interviews, performances, and natural sounds creates a rich, immersive cinematic experience. With an intimate, direct camera style, viewers can get close to the many spiritual practitioners, musicians, and meditation teachers who form the fabric of the journey. Bubbling hot springs, subtropical nocturnal symphonies of insects, and harsh, frozen mountain winds combine with mantra chanting, classical Hindustani music, and the dynamic temple sounds of drums and trumpets. This audiovisual tone poem invites you to experience heightened sensory awareness and the transformative, healing power of sound.
