NEW SHORTS: Music and Animation [Austism Friendly Screening]

16:00 Mon 11 Jan 2016

Hackney Picturehouse (screen TBC)

LSFF are presenting their first Autism Friendly Screening in partnership with Oska Bright Film Festival. We’re aware that going to a general performance of a film can be a challenge for audiences on the autism spectrum or with sensory or learning disabilities. To promote greater social inclusion, we’re excited to host an adapted screening of a selection from our New Shorts programmes.

The lights will be kept on at a low level, with reduced sound levels and an allowance for increased levels of movement and noise. This screening is suitable for all audiences.

    'Trees and Gold’ is Will and Joe's second collaboration with singer/songwriter Samantha Whates. It’s imagery was inspired by the shadow puppet animation of Lotte Reiniger, but it’s narrative is more surreal. A blend of myths and folklore with intrusions from the modern world, with it’s own peculiar atmosphere somewhere between fairy tales and something more sinister."

    ‘Wildless’ cascades us in time and gives a glimpse of Scotland’s past, present and future.

Can we re-connect and restore declining wildlife populations and wonderment?
