:: BOGLIFE (24 hrs in the life of a night club toilet) - Director Will Jewell - 15 mins ::
Premiered at the 2002 Brighton festival, Boglife charts the descent of a nightclub toilet from a clean happy hygenic commode to a vomit-stained shit-caked den of drugs and cheap sex. Set during the early 90's rave scene, the film has a banging original soundtrack, fantastic costumes and is full of period detail. It'll make you squirm, it'll make you flinch... it will make you wonder why you ever went to night clubs!

:: A QUIET WEDDING - Director Carey Smith - 9 mins ::
Con is a small-town robber who thinks he's Billy the Kid. His brother Nick's a cabbie and occasional getaway driver who dreams of fast cars and fast women. They live with their Mum.

Anna feels trapped by her approaching wedding and is collecting her dress when she witnesses their latest robbery. A few weeks later, Nick's taxi is assigned to drive Anna to her wedding and things spiral out of control as he becomes torn between family loyalty, his sense of fair play and fancying Anna.

:: THE ADVENTURES OF BLUE - Director Herve Rebolj - 3 minutes ::
A mini-hit from the first Final Cut screenings during the 2002 Brighton festival, Adventures of Blue is a fast, furious and very funny animated short combining original music, hand drawings and clay-mation to hilarious effect. The film reveals what happens when a high-tech yuppie crosses the path of super-cool dinosaur with a warped sense of humour. The moral is: never leave your moby in the beema !

:: SPIRIT of CUBA - Director Charles H. Wood - 22 minutes ::
Filmed partly in Brighton, Spirit of Cuba presents a unique insight into Afro-Cuban music via the music and dance of Havana-based Vocal Baobab. Starting with a brief introduction to Cuban culture, the film takes us to several exotic locations to explore the traditional songs and dances of the Orishas, including Eleguá, Yemayá, Ochún, Oggún, Osain and Iroko. This is a fascinating view of the spirit of Afro Cuba, and the intoxicating rhythms and movement that lie at its heart.

:: ELVIS IS THE KING, I'M JUST A FAN - Director Nung Dang - 6 mins ::
A documentary film looking at the weird and wonderful world of Elvis impersonators and their fans. Some of them look like Him, some of them talk like Him, some have shrines to Him...some even want to be Him! Elvis is the King… is an affectionate, light-hearted look at what Elvis means to some people and how his music has influenced and inspired them. Cut with classic archive footage, this film sums up all that is magical about 'The King'.

:: PRESENT - Director Kieron Butler - 10 mins ::
During this year's Brighton Festival, the theatre company Fireraisers created an installation inside a shop window in Hanningtons department store which told the story of a man who spontaneously combusted. Present is an unusual documentary film revealing the mixed reactions of people who passed the shop window during the four weeks of the festival.

:: 000 AND KEN: A SPACE ODDITY - Director Roz Shearn - 12 minutes ::
Another Festival Favourite starring the amazing Kenny Ken, space traveller extrordinaire, as he prepares for his first trip around the galaxy. The Earth is round, he says, but people are square and space is, well, out there. If we all put in a fiver, Kenny can leave this place far behind, because, when its time to blow it's time to go - and catch that photonic wave that is fast approaching...

:: LAPTOP JAM - Director Richard Harris - 5 mins ::
