LITTLE DEVILS - Director Brad Watson - 10 mins When a young mother books ‘Colin The Clown’ for her daughter’s birthday, she is unaware of the nightmare she is allowing into her house.
A MAN SAT NEXT TO ME - Director Julia Ford - 15 mins
Featuring a trio of top theatre/TV actors, Michelle Fairley, Cheryl Campbell and Kenneth Cranham, this excellent short is a powerful meditation on identity, loss and the need to know.
ONE GOOD TURN - Director Hywell Griffith - 4 mins
Clever, fast-paced computer animation packed with incident and laughs following the adventures of good-guy Dave as he tries to return an old lady's mislaid purse.
BEER GOGGLES - Director T A Cottam - 8 mins
From the rude-boy director of last month's amazing Pornographic Apathetic, this wildly hilarious comedy concerns three hayseed heroes from America's mid--West drunkenly joyriding their way to an embarrassing episode of mistaken identity followed by group suicide.
We recently received an email from Cottam in which he informed us the 'T' in his name stands for testicles. We don't think he was kidding.
BRITISH BEACH HUTS MISCELLANY - Director Giles Perkins - 1 min
Fascinating, genuinely quirky documentary ultra-short celebrating a seaside institution for which Brighton & Hove and many other British resorts are justly famous.
IN TUNE - Director Philippa James - 7 mins
Moody and fascinating film using delicate chorography and the sound of the piano to tell the story of three characters accidentally falling into a syncretistic sequence of cause and effect, driving a miniature musical journey to its climax (it says here).
THE FARMER'S DAUGHTER - Director Robbie Brewster - 4 mins
Well-made horror with a shocking Whicker Man ending - only worse.
THE SICKIE - Director Rupert Jones - 13 mins
Enjoyable and well-acted comedy about Douglas Knott, a diligent and overworked office manager, who decides to take a rare sickie when work get too stressful.
WORK SOCKS - Director David Packer - 6 mins Finding matching socks can be frustrating at the best of times, especially if you're late for work, but in this excellent comedy it leads to an adventure involving imprisonment and some rather nice views of the countryside.
THIS STONE IS A BULLET - Director Shane Davey - 3 mins Solid music video from a Final Cut regular promoting the new single from Dogs.
DON'T BE A DINOSAUR - Director Ed Hartwell - 4 mins
Great animated music video promoting the virtual musician, Harrison, from this award-winning director whose work we have screened several times. During the song our claymated (new word?) hero travels through time to, amongst other things, battle dinosaurs with a cricket bat.
A SOLDIER'S TUNIC - Director Simon Bovey - 13 minutes
The year is 1855 and cavalryman John Rayverne returns from the Crimean War intent on marrying his sweetheart Katherine – only to find that Katherine's father intends her to marry the dastardly Dedrick Hulbert. Great fun and very well made.
