  • NEW SHORTS: Sister Act

    ​

  • UK COMPETITION: The Devil's In The Details

    Layering fantasy over reality, these works comprise speculative futures, dream logics and waking nightmares, from tricksy megachurches in Lagos to the utopian otherworlds of Somerset's Wookey Hole Caves.

  • LO-BUDGET MAYHEM: ¡C’est du CinĂ©ma!

    ​

    From a vibrant Lagos to the queer corners of Margate, the euphoria of 145 BPM to absurd sonic-sexual compositions, these works revel in the fun and freedom of taking up space.

  • NEW SHORTS: Absence

    ​

    Online

    Desires, longings and fantastical logics flood the void as these characters spiral in an absence. With surreal pop culture parable from Andrew Norman Wilson.
