:: YOU'RE GONNA WAKE UP ONE MORNING - Director Mark Jay - 28 mins ::
Fresh from its premiere screening at Soho's Curzon Cinema, this romantic comedy adventure is set in Brighton and tells the story of the unlikely pairing of two teenagers, a punk girl and a townie boy, who have somehow ended up on a blind date. While attempting to score some drugs, they're given the wrong stuff and then overhear a murder and robbery being planned by two hitmen...

Featuring legendary Punk/Rasta DJ and film-maker Don Letts as one of the hitmen, this film is about punk values - then and now - and also about taking a position and being aware that appearances can be deceptive.

:: SIDEBURNS - Director Lawrence Pearce - 4 mins ::
This is what happens when you admire your sideburns too much!

Sideburns premiered at London's Shoot & Slice last December and this is its first outing since then. An action comedy featuring some very unusual special effects which starts with a man admiring his huge sideburns in the wing-mirror of a car. As he walks away, his reflection emerges from the mirror armed with a razor blade and shaving foam - determined to punish his rival. But how?

:: LAB REPORT – Director Miwa Kurihara - 4 minutes ::
The moment of truth for all non-video filmmakers is the day that rushes come back from the lab. No critic can be more cruel than the author of the Lab Report, and this film is the result of a first-time director’s sucesssful struggle to turn Z-grade footage from a no-brain cameraman into a watchable film. A remarkable and touching film by Japanese actress, Miwa Kurihara. First screened during last year's Brighton Festival

:: NAILS - Director Sigrun Lydsdottir - 5 mins ::
The inspiration for doing this piece came from when I stopped eating my nails and realized I loved making sounds and noises with my fingernails. Could you play your fingernails like an instrument? This film takes you on an audio visual journey where fingernails are responsible for ALL the noises ranging from tipping glass to water-pipes, scratching chalk board to guitar cases, from pots and pans to cardboard.

Nails has been screened at the Icelandic Film Festival, 'Short Cuts' (September 2002) and Jump Ship Rat, Liverpool (May 2002)

:: BEDLAM - Director Adam Lavis - 2 mins ::
This is a trailer for Brighton film-maker Adam Lavis' new film. Adam directed last month's Retrograde - a fascinating documentary about memory and the traumatic effects of permanent memory-loss experienced by a close friend following a car accident

:: JOYRIDER - Director Callum Morrison - 5 mins ::
A second outing for this talented animator who surprised and shocked last month's Final Cut audience with Motoring Britain, a weird stop-frame animation featuring a laser-eyed doll's head and several exploding police cars!

As usual, Callum refuses to provide us with a synopsis, but on the strength of last month's (burnt) offering, it will be worth the effort.

:: THE WEST PIER - A Tribute - 50 mins ::
As a tribute to Brighton's West Pier, footage of this doomed part of Brighton's seafront history will be screened from 8pm until the main programme starts. Sit back and watch the sun setting over this magnificent structure while reflecting on the pathetic attempts of our city fathers to save it from extinction.

:: A SHORT CUT - Director Gary Barber - 6 mins ::
With this gentle, effectionate documentary by one of Brighton's best-known film-makers, Gary Barber swops his director's chair for the barbers' to tell the story of Cooper the hairdresser - a tonsorial institution.

:: THE DRIVER AND THE PASSER-BY - Director Jo Morris - 10 mins ::
Following a serious road accident, the dying victim stares up at a beautiful, cloudless sky and contemplates his death.

:: CUDDLE - Director Suzanne Almond - 10 mins  ::
This fast-paced and funny film stars two wayward, but depressed women who are prescribed 'Hugatron 2000' by their GP with disastrous results. Truly, a film for the Prozac generation.
