:: JUST TALK - Director - Paul Collins - 35 mins ::
This Canadian film examines the lifestyles and preoccupations of disaffected young people in that country. Directed by Canadian film-maker, Paul Collins, it was shot in Toronto's rough West End district and looks at how such things as race, violence, consumerism and technology are shaping young Canadian's lives.

:: BEFORE YOU LEAVE THE HOUSE - Martin Malone - 90 seconds ::
Clever, funny ultra-short about rituals and superstition.

:: FINAL CUT TV PILOT - 30 mins::
Filmed in The Duke of York cinema and hosted by local filmmaker, Maxine Badger (Desperately Seeking Dave), this is Final Cut's attempt to break into the Big Time. We selected a representative bunch of films from our archives for inclusion, with future episodes featuring the best new films submitted to the monthly Final Cut 'live' screenings.

:: LAPTOP JAM - Richard Harris - 25 mins ::
Described by Bizarre magazine, as 'so innovative and downright weird…your brain could get bruised', the UK's Laptop Jams collective lead the world in laptop-driven entertainment. This film captures the experience with a fast-paced blend of chopped-up images, performance footage, surreal interviews and a spaced-out ambient-funk soundtrack.
