Synopsis

Unhomely Street follows a female protagonist in a state of fugue following a head injury as she wanders an alienating city underbelly of clubs and free parties. Through recollections of anti-capitalist conversations, historical information about wartime atrocity, and human brutality, she searches for hope in an increasingly frightening, subjective landscape.

In this brand new subgenre of surreal British comedy filmmaking, Lorraine Willy of Planet Earth believes there's an ancient lost portal built by Amen Rah somewhere in deep Essex that leads to Sirius. As she explores, time, space and greasy chicken wings with her friends and family, will she be proven wrong by those who think they hold the secrets to her madness or will she be vindicated in her unstoppable quest for the truth?

Synopsis

The story of what happened to an English town during World War One with almost all of its men fighting abroad and its women and children left behind. The North East was in the front line, thanks to its shipyards and munitions factories.
Using archive and contemporary footage and audio, this film collages the stories of people from Tyneside and Wearside to uncover just what life was like on the home front, with bombs falling on Britain for the first time, conscientious objectors sentenced to death, and women working as doctors, tram conductors and footballers. The narrative moves from an Edwardian golden era, in which sport grew in popularity and aircraft and cars pointed to a bright new future, to a war that horrifically reversed this progress. In the Battle of the Somme, British, French and German armies fought one of the most traumatic battles in military history. Over the course of just four months, more than one million soldiers were captured, wounded or killed in a confrontation of unimaginable horror.

Synopsis

Synopsis

Women in Pictish garb! Tri-partite geometry! Psychedelic sitars! Heavy Magick!

The Return from Annwn is a mytho-ecological short film and digital project by Annwn Collective, depicting a trans-dimensional quest to restore cosmic equilibrium through female alignment. Borrowing from Celtic mythology, Pictish symbolism, Japanese butoh dancing and the Western hermetic magic tradition, The Return from Annwn chronicles an atmospheric journey by six summoned spectres through the landscapes of England. Paying equal homage to the filmic rituals of Kenneth Anger and Maya Deren and the aesthetics of 80s fantasy epics, the film performs a form of spiritual archaeology on a world where objects have the power of change and lasers emanate from pineal eyes.

The sword must be drawn and the stars realigned! Come forth Guardians of Annwn, come forth!

Synopsis

Set in a former Cold War era civil defence bunker turned data centre buried 30 metres underground in Stockholm. Part Bond villain lair, part retro-futuristic spaceship, the film explores the temporal nature of data space and geology. Once housing servers for WikiLeaks, issues of privacy, surveillance and digital sovereignty emanate.

Synopsis

Blurring the lines between documentary and fiction, a single worker narrates his story to the rhythm of industrial machinery, re-framing supply chains as a narrative performance at global scale.

An animated film exploring the fleeting delusional love between Titania and Bottom. There is no story, no time and no roles: only raw emotions and sensations.
The film is made with charcoal on paper, with a series of drawings constantly erased and retraced.
