NEW SHORTS: Outer Limits
18:45 Mon 13 Jan 2020
A generous helping of twists and turns, paranormal activity and the phantasmagorical. Embrace the unknowable with grotesque mermaids, black holes opening up in an old lady’s living room, narratives caught in unbearable time loops and sentient sculptures fleeing the Louvre.
From the outright supernatural to subtler hints at the surreal, catch new work from Gabriel Abrantes (Diamantino) and the directorial debut of Beyond Clueless producer Anthony Ing. With turns from Gerard Kearns (Shameless) and Jessica Gunning (Pride). Programmed by Philip Ilson 98’
