INDUSTRY FOCUS 2025: PRODUCING EXPLORING THE ART AND BUSINESS OF SCREEN PRODUCTION At Cornwall Film Festival 2025, our annual Industry Focus shines a spotlight on the vital and often misunderstood role of the Producer. Whether you're working in short films, feature narratives, factual TV, or digital platforms, producing sits at the heart of the screen industry. This year’s focus explores all facets of producing—from development and financing, to production logistics, distribution strategy, and creative leadership.

The best experimental short film-makers from Cornwall Film Festival. < Programme Best Experimental Videos Various The best of experimental film! The longlist of experimental short-film entries at this year's festival. The winner in this section is invited to Best of the Best Screening on Saturday 19th November at 10am at The Poly Falmouth during the Film Festival the great dog, Pan Toby Parker Rees 9m 29 sec | UK A film about rewilding yourself and living with things – panic and animals in particular. An anxious woman must explain the strange and possibly Faustian relationship she has with her therapy dog. Shot in two continuous long takes, with cuts between angles dictated by which lens the performer looks into. Featuring cameraless 16mm hand-processed in a foraged elderberry developer (panpipes were traditionally made with hollow elder twigs). The 7 Rituals of Hesitance and Fortitude Devised and Performed by Melanie Young & Caroline Sabanche Filmed by Gil Ratcliffe 19m 50 | UK An atmospheric journey of The Splendid Sisters as they navigate the mysterious journey through grief to resolution. Twirl Tony Hill 1m 12 | UK A woman walks and starts to turn. She continues to turn in different places as we follow, impossibly locked on to her body. Finally floating above her as she turns and walks away. Pirates Booty Ellen Morrow 4m 17 | UK Experimental film of a surf mission on the north coast of Cornwall These Shoes Gavin Nicol & Fred Williams 1m 50 | UK A refugee's journey to find a better place. Created by two St.Ives-born artists as a fund-raiser for NGOs supporting refugees in Northern France, following time spent on the front line. Donsya Mordros Bunny Marie Ladd 7m 28 | UK The film abstractly reflects my folktale; 'Donsya Mordros' that begins as a story where sea foam crawls over itself to the shoreline and as the night is introduced it bursts and bubbles in a spectacle until the whole shoreline is bordered by ‘Geys’, the Cornish language word for ‘Jesters’ and perform Guize (deriving from Cornish language word ‘Geys’) dancing to celebrate the Mordros, a Cornish term meaning the 'sound of the sea.' in the spirit of pre-enlightenment narrative, I wanted to create an almost climactic, operatic, Fiesta of Cornwall that could work as both, an intimate relationship with the viewer and their own mind but also as a tale that creates a shared appreciation within a community, for the community. It was important to represent the encompassing lineage of the Cornish character alongside the staggering, natural beauty that gives Cornwall the sense of other; that means it has the unique heritage of folklore, recording our home and our people. Donsya Mordros is my contribution. Fin. Justė Rutkauskaitė 13m 36 | UK An experimental documentary based on the question: what would one do in the last 24 hours before the end of the world? As a group of contributors try to confront the thought of absolute finality through a set of interviews, their answers come alive as intersecting vignettes. Six unlikely characters contemplate their own individual end. Behind the Roads Frankie Lewis 4m 49 | UK A Queer, Magical Realist Coming-of-Age Drama set against the wild landscapes of the Cornish Riviera. A rigid yet ambitious Creative Writing student must take the love she discovers in one of her characters and turn it to her dysfunctional parents in order to end her dry spell, cure her depression and meet her university deadlines. Optician's Daughter Linda Ward 4m 21 | UK Optician's Daughter is an exploration of looking. The camera is used to both reveal and conceal the mysterious layers of light and colour in the filmmaker’s environment, leading all the time, moment by moment to a sense of visual meaning. The playful and disturbing music accompaniment underscores a sense of yearning and loss. The daughter looks slowly and illuminates the possibilities which remain wrapped in a sublime tension of being and possibility. Sleep-scavenging from below Bethanie Honey Clayton 7m 29 | UK An artistic combination of stop-motion animation, poetry, and live-action footage gathered from the winter lockdown of 2021. The film touches on non-anthropocentric perspectives as I retreat into my dreams during lockdown, on the edge of a nightmarish realm of climate catastrophe.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR CAREER STAGE Four Es' - entry, early, experienced and expert. ScreenSkills has developed a handy guide to understanding the stage you're at in your career ENTRY If you are entering the screen industries, the 'entry' career stage might be the one for you Education history: I might have left full-time education within the last two years. Career: I'm still working that out, but I've definitely decided the screen industries are for me. Professional engagements: I am working towards my first couple of professional production credits or full-time employed roles in the screen industries. Budgetary responsibility: I am not expected to manage budgets or spend money on behalf of the production or company. Team management: I do not manage anyone other than myself. EARLY 'Early' is the career stage best suited for you if you are establishing your career. Education history: I might have left full-time education more than two years ago. Career: I have a sense of which job role or department I want to work in but as yet I might not be working regularly within it. Professional engagements: I have two or more professional production credits and/or have been employed in an industry-recognised role on two or more occasions.

Career: I've chosen my job role or department and I am regularly working in it. Professional engagements: I have a number of professional production credits in my current role or I am transferring in with advanced skills from another sector.

Professional engagements: I have built up a portfolio of professional credits. I am highly regarded in my field and consistently work in advanced positions within my specialisation.

A poetic portrait of a place, the people who support it and that it supports. RIVERVIEW SIMON RATTIGAN A river divides territory and is at once a way in and a way out, where tidal shifts push and pull one's desires to go and explore the beyond, while old loyalties hold onto the past weighing down one's need to escape. GILBERT & GEORGE DAYTRIPPING FOREVER! IAIN B. MACDONALD "Gilbert & George Daytripping Forever!" follows the artists Gilbert and George as they embark on another adventure to Southend-on-Sea and explore the meaning of their art and their lives. OLEUM 'VERSUS' (DIRECTOR DUO): TANYA BABIC & JASON SUKADANA In a bold reimagining of Opera for the screen, 'Oleum' follows a wounded mechanic’s journey to hear the plaintive song of a local waitress one last time. SPOKEN MOVMENT FAMILY HONOUR DANIEL GURTON In a British-Ghanaian household bound by tradition and religion, a young girl lives under the oppressive control of her abusive father. At the family dinner table, heated arguments reveal the deep rift between them as they confront the scars of their shared history. DREAMT BY ANOTHER VIKKI BARDOT Dreamt by Another is an allegorical take on creating with artificial intelligence and a meditation on identity, memory, and love. Interweaving passages from Pinocchio (1883), The Velveteen Rabbit (1922), Frankenstein (1818), and Borges's The Circular Ruins (1940), the film builds a single narrative about coming into existence. It extends the lineage of wooden puppets, toys, and monsters into the realm of artificial intelligence, as the latest chapter in humanity's pursuit to make the unreal come alive. A POEM VASILIOS PAPAIOANNU In an underground garage, a voice message becomes the testament of a love left in limbo, while fleeting images allude to the moment that led to it. A FROG SITS IN WATER DYLAN FRIESE-GREENE A Frog Sits in Water is an experimental film exploring human complacency in the face of disaster. Set during an all-consuming heatwave, the film follows a lone figure spiralling into psychosis as the world boils and rots around him. Surrounded by spinning fans, he blocks out the sunlight and plays his saxophone in a desperate attempt to to drown out reality and retreat inward. The film seeks to examine the tension between numbness and expression, questioning whether making art in a dying world is an act of resistance or simply a way to survive. It is a study in indifference, discomfort, and the fragile persistence of creativity amid collapse . GOLDFISH AKHIL KUMAR Goldfish is a thought-provoking micro-short that captures the struggle of staying present in an age of endless distractions. With the average human attention span now just 8.25 seconds—shorter than a goldfish’s, we’re caught in a cycle of notifications, fleeting dopamine hits, and the constant pull of what’s next. Both timely and relatable, this film offers a sharp reflection on focus, presence, and the way technology shapes our minds—inviting audiences to pause, reflect, and reconsider what really holds their attention. GLIMPSE ULRIKE SWOBODA-OSTERMANN Deep in rural Cornwall, autistic Thomas loves to read. Retreating from a world he finds sensorily challenging, he spends all day buried in books, telling himself stories of heroes and epic quests. When a flying football starts a new friendship with sporty Agnes, Thomas initially finds it hard to relate and let her into his world. This distance between them means that Agnes becomes bored with Thomas’ storytelling, forcing Thomas to use his incredible creativity to make new stories for them both. Through their burgeoning relationship, he learns how to express himself creatively, empathise and learn from others, making his unique experience of the world around him more understandable and manageable. STRAIGHT AHEAD 01: RUNNING AWAY BECALELIS BRODSKIS Made across months of travel, this improvised drawn animation — filmed against train and bus windows — becomes a contemplative collage of continual journeys between Cornwall in the west, Suffolk in the east, and the places in between. Rooted in a purist manifesto of straight-ahead animation, it discards planning, storyboards, light boxes, and corrections to embrace the raw energy of the line. The result blends frantic motion with calm reflection, capturing shifting landscapes both internal and external. PRESSING STEPHANIE BARBER A woman washes her hair in the kitchen sink while telling her friend about a memory of sitting in a bathtub and watching her aunt get ready to go out. A narrative fragment, a very short story, a performance and exercise in the prosaic as mythologized through memory.

BOOK TICKETS DIRECTOR BIOGRAPHY ASHER ROSEN Asher Rosen is a filmmaker based in London and Kisoro. Asher began his career as a screenwriter, developing projects with production companies such as The Forge Entertainment, Range Media Partners, and Gaumont UK. In 2021, Asher directed his debut short film, MEAT, produced by Scala Productions. Meat won multiple awards, playing at numerous BAFTA/Oscar qualifying festivals and culminating in a selection for the César Académie's ‘Golden Nights’ Programme. Asher's second short film THE RABBI'S SON (2022) won the Pears Short Film Fund, as well as playing at a number of BAFTA/Oscar qualifying festivals including Athens International Film Festival. In 2023, Asher began production on SMALL GODS, produced by Sovereign Films. Expanding on Meat, Small Gods is a docufiction drama inspired by the lives of its lead actors and wider Batwa community. STATEMENT Flo first mentioned the concept of small gods (ibigirwamana) the very day we met. Like almost all of the indigenous Batwa tribe, Flo has no access to her family’s ancestral lands, which were stolen to make way for conservation and tourism. When asked what the Batwa miss most from their old home in the forest, Flo mentioned animist deities attached to specific trees, caves, or water bodies. She referred to them as small gods. As we began building a narrative around Flo’s experiences, the concept suggested further resonances. The writing process started around the dinner table and continued late each night, as the cast recalled events from their lives. The whole crew was immediately captivated by the rich and epic drama with which the tales were told. From their own perspective, they were heroes fighting for their dignity, but to an uncaring outsider they were no more than street performers. Stylistically, Small Gods aims to depict their lives on a canvas just as mythic as the one they narrated. In doing so, it risks running against the traditions of documentary-infused cinema, in which first-time actors are rarely asked to plumb the same theatrical depths as trained professionals. Fortunately there was no doubt in my mind that they were up to the task. Flo and Bizi have, after all, been acting their whole lives - performing songs, dances, or impressions for the tourists that now flock to see Uganda’s gorillas. In the case of Bizi, this is how we crossed paths. Known among his friends as ‘monkey man’, Bizi will frequently drop to his knees and perform his gorilla impression at the sight of a foreigner. One such foreigner couldn’t get over the mis-match between his deep well of talent and his stature by the roadside. Making the film was a stand against this injustice. By taking the topic of performance as a thematic subject, platforming the casts’ overlooked talent, and anchoring the camera in their perspective, the hope was that we could somehow defy and defeat the view of tourist, he who comes for the gorillas but passed Bizi by… Having worked with the cast since our first short film together in 2021, I have been lucky enough to witness the transformation Small Gods has made in their lives. With the immense help of the production team, we have not only been able to purchase her and Bizi their own plots where they now grow food and graze their new cattle, but also build safe sturdy homes for them to live in for years to come. After three years in school, Tuyi now speaks English better than I speak Rufumbira, and I hope he will get the chance to answer questions about the film directly. I am forever grateful to have been able to enable this process - it all feels like a small miracle. Perhaps we are indebted to the small gods… IN FOCUS EXPLORING THE ART STORY TELLING FOR SCREEN Each year, Cornwall Film Festival celebrates exceptional emerging talent discovered through our competition entries.
