Synopsis

Shot in a week by a lone British woman filmmaker but based on a year's research, this funny, moving Grey Gardens/Maysles Brothers style cinema verite doc contrasts the lives of Ian and Robin, two alcoholic expats (one British, one Dutch) living in a squat next to millionaire yachts, with the glamour of Cannes Film Festival.

Life mirrors art as the filmmaker accidentally becomes homeless during shooting and turns the camera on herself. Shows the dark side of British expat life in luxury sunny destinations.

Synopsis

A conflict is raging in the US. Protests, political movements and murder have taken place in the name of an unlikely ideal: clotheslines.

Tens of millions of individuals across Northern America are banned from outdoor line drying by the very communities they live in, forcing them to turn to the dryer. Homeowners who break the rules are fined, sued and even foreclosed on. This ban is not only infringing on civil rights, it's contributing to the environmental and energy crisis. The dryer is responsible for 6% of the average household's energy bill and it costs residential ratepayers in the US an estimated $5 billion annually.

Corporate America has sold the dryer and the consumption of electricity as a status symbol, and now they have their eyes on a much bigger prize - the world.

Synopsis

Future Document follows the dark journey of a girl, Christina.

Anomalous memories are re-traced in the pursuit of revealing their true intentions. Transmissions have punctuated the strange world, in which the girl has found herself to be the centre of transmissions, she remembers, that may have eradicated the frequency of human life as she knew it.

As her alter-human capabilities slowly unlock (as prophesied by those who are watching her), the truth of her place in the plans ahead is shown to her. The transmission has already begun - Christina, however, still has more to remember.

Directed by Jake & Daniel Astbury, Future Document is the brothers' own unique meditation on a piece of apocalyptic sci-fi. Inspired by the structure and style Japanese sci-fi manga, a powerful female, both violent and child-like, is overseen by an elusive, evil scientist.

Shot in B/W Anamorphic digital video and Super-8 film, Future Document is perhaps the only independent sci-fi with genuine, unexplained UFO footage, filmed whilst shooting a scene in Cambridgeshire. The UFO was only discovered on review of the rushes afterwards and was introduced into the story by way of a strange anomaly that may, or may not, have changed everything.

Synopsis
