Embers From Yesterday, Aflame (Country: UK; Year: 2022; Director: William Hong-xiao Wei)
A transcendental meditation on withered trees struggling to be reborn. A fleeting glimpse into the seemingly trivial occurrences of daily life. A sheer ecstasy of physical intimacy viewed through celluloid films, in which the life of the emulsion is decaying.
Family Fugue (Country: UK; Year: 2022; Director: George Finlay Ramsay)
A contrapuntal film about a white snake, a red Duchess and a golden boy, spanning eight centuries and starting in a cave..
maud (Country: UK; Year: 2022; Director: Natasha Thembiso Ruwona)
A call to celebrate the life and work of the Scottish-Ghanaian artist Maud Sulter (1960 - 2008) who grew up in the Gorbals, Glasgow. Maud had an extremely diverse output of artistry; writing, image-making, curating, filmmaking, and sound. Her significance on multiple fronts - as a Black Scottish, Black British, African, Ghanaian, queer, working class and female artist has until recently largely gone uncelebrated.
Outlets (Country: UK; Year: 2022; Director: Duncan Cowles)
Unable to move on from the death of his granny, a filmmaker desperately searches for the right film idea that will finally allow him to let go.
To Do (Country: UK; Year: 2022; Director: Saul Pankhurst)
A reflection on productivity and the self-improvement industry, explored through attempts to participate in a modern mindfulness exercise.
