Synopsis

An animated documentary short about traditional textile crafts.
A love letter to the act of hand-making, traditional craft practices, and the people who love them. Stemming from the fear of these art forms slipping away in a society that no longer values the human labour behind them.

Director: Isolda Milenkovic

Year: 2024

An exploration of the time and labour involved in the creation of any animated film, no matter how long or short. In a tongue-in-cheek interpretation of the ‘Long Shorts’ title, the knitted frames of animation create a physical manifestation of the length of the filmmaking process.

A young black man is shown running across an outdoor basketball court An Unimaginable Leap

Director: Hope Pearl Strickland

Year: 2026

St, Mary’s Parish, Jamaica, April 1760, in a cave near what is now known as Tacky Falls, Tacky’s Rebellion is unfolding as the most significant revolt of the eighteenth-century in the Caribbean, three decades before the Haitian Revolution. AN UNIMAGINABLE LEAP traverses loosely associated events and places: 16mm footage of daily life in contemporary Jamaica; caves as portals; and a celebration of Jamaican Independence Day at a cricket club in Manchester. Moments of respite and celebration are negotiated alongside the threat of ecological degradation and bauxite mining, in order to consider the relationship between revolutionary time, the climate emergency and cinematic form.
