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.

Cornwall Film Festival 2024 Best of the West Short Film Programme Film Programme 2024 Talks Festival flyer Industry VR & AR Artist Moving Images short films Tickets Films from around the globe, screening at this years edition of Cornwall Film Festival Shimmer Directed by Andy Hughes Shimmer is an artist film that blends photographs, archival film, and video game visuals. Commissioned by the Burton Art Gallery and Museum in 2024, it highlights material vitality, pollution, and climate change, merging animate and inanimate elements. It opens with spaceships over a strange ocean on a virtual planet, then transitions to images of the River Torridge and the riverbank of Cyberpunk 2077's Night City. Using footage, plastic trash, animated estuary stills, and 1940s/1980s public films, the film explores pollution and climate change connected to rivers and estuaries. Rain Directed by Vasilios Papaioannu Rain, as circular shapes of memory imprinted on the fast paced celluloid or as liquid moving sculptures of the present in digital form, documents a verbal interaction between two people. Synergy Directed by Emilie Bouet Conran and Honor West This short film explores identity and self-expression through the mediums of dance and fashion. We follow the journey of August, a gender-fluid person in their early twenties experiencing the mundanity of an urban, fast-paced environment. The film begins with August listening to a track of electronic dance music and immersing themselves in the audio. They are transported throughout the film to four dimensions in their mind's eye, reflecting separate versions of themself. The distinct layers of the music are performed by the different iterations of August, each exploring a corresponding movement vocabulary. The amalgamation of the separate versions of themself, and the way they dance, represents a synergy - an extended metaphor for how identity is fluid and multi-faceted. Audition Directed by Megan Harding Straight8 project starring the filmmaker's father as he reignites his love of acting. The North Wind and The Sun Directed by Anat Pollack Morphes Directed by Konstantinos Doxiadis Morphes is an experimental film born out of a sequence of disjointed memories. While there is some loose narrative tying the separate threads together, my main aim was to create a rhythm that suspends time and space. This was achieved through constantly shifting frame borders, extensive use of blocking and reflections to give more depth (or conversely obscure) the physical space around the camera, and strong musical guidance to give the viewer a fixed pace. Uh Oh Directed by Emily Freda Sharp Welcome to the wonderful world of Bubble inc, where tomorrow's tech is here today. Take a tour and find out what the future has in store for you! Just mind you don't burst anything. Ouroboros Directed by SyL Shiyang Liu "Ouroboros" is a student short film that embarks on an experimental exploration of the cinematic medium. Seamlessly blending CG animation with live-action, the film delves into the metaphorical borderlands of truth and falsehood in our digitally-driven era. Re-creations Directed by Polina Moshenska This is the personal and intimate story of the friendship of three women and the struggle to live their everyday life while studying abroad in Scotland as a full-scale war takes place in their home country in Ukraine, where their families and close friends are. The film details the effort and obstacles they face, the everyday relationships in their new country and their pulsing connection to home, stronger, more dedicated and painful like never before. The film focuses on the search for beauty and necessary words whilst also exploring inner conflicts and the disintegration of memories. Flickering Light Directed by Jahnavi Misra, Apoorva Mundoor Flickering Light / Peeli Batti is a poem that encapsulates the experience of a woman whose loneliness and dissociation takes her to the brink of non-existence, disappearance and ghostliness. This is a stop motion film that employs mixed media techniques, including pixilation, paper-cut, found object and sand animation. Immortals Directed by Mark Durand Immortals is an experimental documentary short film shot in 8mm that explores the introspection of an artist, Bettina Szabo. The film delves into her relationship with her sense of belonging, her body, her imagination, and nature. Sometimes one must lose oneself to find oneself better, and burn everything down to start anew on a solid foundation. semblance Directed by Anna Lukala A cyanotype animation made from 738 single cyanotypes. This was a film made with people from my local neurodivergent community as a response to the question of what it feels like to be neurodivergent in today's society, and constantly feeling of not being seen or heard. Hunky Dory Directed by Steven Vander Meer Hunky Dory juxtaposes scenes of animal life with images of human existence, observing the quirky and unexpected ways in which we are similar. The meticulously hand-drawn animation is a visual smorgasbord, moving and morphing in perfect time to the banjo music of Béla Fleck and his bandmates in My Bluegrass Heart.
