| A Hiss in the Wind - Owen Davies | |
|---|---|
 |
Beware the moon. Stick to the towpath. Dead pan and Frighteningly funny! |
| To His Knees he Fell - Andrew Brand | |
 |
This inspired tale of haunting and revenge will chill the marrow in your bones. A film inspired by an M R James style ghost story. |
| Guy Noo Bhajan - The Song of the Holy Cow - Dena Smiles | |
 |
A cow seems to have fallen from the sky and landed in an ordinary street and one little boy really needs to know if he can keep it as a pet, with dancing! |
| King of the Gypsies - Shane Meadows | |
 |
One of the few documentary shorts directed by our very own local legend Shane Meadows, This candid film sees bare knuckle fighting champion - Bartley Gorman, interviewed by Shane himself. |
| I Don't Believe in the Loch Ness Monster - Max Crow | |
|
Lo-fi punk video animation made with pencil and tracing paper and revealing the truth behind the legend. |
| SupaHeroes - Dena Smiles | |
 |
It's official: by the age of 9 you have lost your ability to fly! Smiles' smart and witty directorial debut has more legendary characters than a marvel comic. |
| 3 Mans and 9 Ladies - Kamal Jorry | |
 |
Hilarious documentary follows 3 urban lads as they head to the hills in search of the stone circle, the 9 ladies. |
| Shifting Units - Chris Cooke | |
 |
Local Legend Chris Cooke made this short back in 1999 - Paul's(Rupert Procter) life is about hitting targets; reducing the number of alcohol units he consumes and increasing the number of hotel consumables he sells. Hard hitting portrait of a man on the edge. |
| What The..... - Simon Ellis | |
 |
High Concept and Low Budget, What the... is head scratching, mind bending stuff from Ellis and collaborator Tim Cunningham. Surreality TV at it's best. |
