  • .TICK

    Ieva Sabaliauskaite 3 mins (UK, 2014)

    This short movement story is about one day that makes internal difference. It’s about inner fight of surviving, the attempt of moving on, the balance between the past and the future. Life is a decision making process and often your logic contradicts your heart. However, no matter what... you still go to bed at night.
  • ENJOY THE SILENCE

    Ruth Gardiner 6 mins (, 2014)

    A film made for Eric Whitacre a project for Genero TV. 'Enjoy the Silence' originally by Depeche Mode can be read in many ways; one can find beauty in silence, solitude and the melancholy within that can offer a sense of comfort. Eric Whitacre's interpretation of it it is simultaneously stunning and haunting which inspired my visual concept.
  • HJEM (HYEM)

    Edwin Mingard 3 mins (, 2014)

    Hjem (Hyem) is a collaboration between film maker Edwin Mingard, composer Isaac Sakima and the Craghead Colliery Band, Craghead, Co. Durham.

  • LITTLE ROBOT LOST

    Sasha Constance 5 mins (, 2014)

    Made with love, Little Robot Lost is a film about the importance of being cared for, and how a small act of kindness from the least expected can change the course of a life forever, human or otherwise. My entire family helped to inspire me to make this short, and made me realise the importance of a parent's instinctive search for their most valuable possession.'

  • OPPONENT

    Charlotte Ginsborg 3 mins (, 2014)

    Featuring Ahmet Patterson, British Welterweight Champion, Opponent fuses boxing and dance to present a hybrid choreographic performance that investigates the different emotions and creative desires that lie behind these diverse forms of movement. As we see the boxer traverse a deserted industrial landscape, to a score composed by Gabriel Prokofiev, the viewer is presented with two very different expressions of masculinity.
  • PIGS... (IN THERE?)

    Guy Bolongaro 9 mins (, 2014)

    Inspired by the Robert Wyatt song of the same name and filmed over the course of a single day in Norfolk, Pigs… (In There?) takes an oblique look at our relationship with animals, rural experience, and agricultural practice, raising the question of how the widening post industrial rupture in this relationship can ever be repaired.

  • THANK YOU MARKET

    Oliver Smith 3 mins (, 2014)

    Thank You Market is a fast paced satirical look at consumerism and how it is drug to the masses who can never get enough. The film is deliberately ambiguous and can be seen as a critique of the consumerist society or a celebration of the mass market and advertising. Either way, it is a fast paced onslaught to the senses.
