RUDE AWAKENINGS - Directors Lucy Muss & Alexia Merrington - 12 mins

After a drunken one-night stand, a man and woman wake up in a gorgeous, but completely empty mansion. Hung-over and feeling awkward, each assumes the house belongs to the other. And then the real owners arrive.

DOLLS HAUS - Director Danny Noise - 3 mins

Clever, well-executed stop-frame animation about the adventures of a doll exploring a strange 'house-on-the-hill'. All the sets and characters were constructed from junk and artefacts the film-maker found at various car-boot sales.

THE MAN WHO MISTOOK HIS WIFE FOR A HAT - Director Liz Griffiths - 12 mins

Based on Peter Brook's play of the same title, this clever and highly original film tells the story of a man who has almost no ability to identify and distinguish objects. Aspects of surrealism, absurdist theatre and dance are used to explore this remarkable phenomenon of human psychology, originally revealed by the famous neurologist, Oliver Sacks.

 

A HOST OF DAFFODILS - Director Jane Clark - 14 mins

In this moving and extremely well made US short about the durability of family ties, an estranged family is thrust together in a hospital room after a parent has experienced a debilitating stroke. Gradually, come to realize that the love they once had for each other is stronger than their differences.
