Music & Clowns by Alex Widdowson

My brother, Jamie, has a profound learning disability. Despite being close to nonverbal, he demonstrates charisma, a sharp sense of humour, and emotional sensitivity. I team up with my parents to discuss what it is like caring for someone with Down syndrome. We piece together fragments of insight to gain a sense of his inner life, but our differing perspectives reveal as much about our own subjectivity as they do Jamie’s. We rarely see portrayals of the diverse, ordinary lives of people who have Down syndrome (unless we are connected to someone who has it). Much of what we hear instead is based off a medical narrative. As prenatal screening tests improve, the birth rate of people with Downs has fallen. I believe people should be able to base life-changing decisions on accurate information. But I also feel that a diagnosis does not reflect my brother’s human worth. This film attempts to complement the medical narrative with first-hand stories of what it is like to have someone with Down syndrome in your family. Jamie has enriched our lives and I believe a society can be measured by its capacity to nurture those who are most vulnerable.

The Walking Fish by Halal

A tragicomic short film about ambition, perfection and self-acceptance. Directed by Thessa Meijer, the Walking Fish tells the story of an ambitious sea-creature that pursues her dream to join the human world. 2020 Oscars® submission for the Netherlands. YDA 2019 Special Jury Prize and Grand Prix at Ciclope.

Tocatta by Optical Arts

The film was conceived loosely as a live action musical animation, reminiscent of the system used in music animation software such as Stephen Malinowski’s Music Animation Machine. Domestic and pertinent objects, common in the still life genre, were sourced and used within a structure mostly defined by the music. The music is the Toccata from the first part of the Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, by Johann Sebastian Bach, one of his most famous compositions and a startling and surprising piece of music. Often mired in controversy, the authorship of Bach himself was questioned by musicologists from the 1960’s onwards because of the piece’s unusual structure, not seen in music of that time. It is performed by Peter Hurford in the 1976 album, Bach: The Great Organ Works. The film is an exploration on the nature of time, the relentless violence of entropy and creative energy and its relationship to music itself. The Toccata and Fugue in D Minor has a cinematic history going back to the silent film era, when orchestras played music to films. The piece became often used in the horror genre and famously as the opening to the 1970’s film Rollerball. https://ift.tt/385pXqK Credits: Creative Direction & Production: Optical Arts Editor: Matt Cronin VFX Supervisor: Miguel Wratten Colourist: Martin Pryor 1st Camera Assistant: Elliott Lowe Styling: Jamie-Lee Harding

Who The F*ck Is Jeffrey Gurian? by Derek Brown

I met Jeffrey Gurian when I first moved to New York. After working ​in restaurants to make ends meet for a few months, I was itching to do anything involving film. I scoured Craigslist applying to everything I saw that looked somewhat related to video production. A few days later I received an email titled, "RE: Nationally Known Comedy Writer Seeks Intern."  Next thing I knew, I was in Jeffrey's Upper East Side apartment being interviewed to edit videos for his Youtube channel, Comedy Matters TV. The walls in his apartment were filled from ceiling to floor with pictures of Jeffrey with every celebrity on the planet. While I only ended up working for Jeffrey out of his apartment for a few months, the experience left an impression on me. About five years later, I was struggling to get a narrative film off the ground. Raising funds is not my specialty. I thought, "Am I going to be stuck making content for brands that I don't believe in and just pursuing my original work instead of actually being able to make it?" Jeffrey popped into my head. I identified with his life long pursuit of comedy fame and wanted to tell that story. I called him the next day and we met at a diner to discuss the possibility of me making a film chronicling his life and work in comedy.  "Who The F*ck Is Jeffrey Gurian?" is a documentary short film that focuses on the career and life of Jeffrey Gurian, a fixture in the comedy world for the last 40 years. Jeffrey has worked with and around the biggest stars in comedy since the 1980s. From Dangerfield to Burle to Dice, Jeffrey has written for them. He has made films, written multiple books, and now runs a Youtube channel that features red carpet interviews with celebrities. He accomplished all of this while also running his own cosmetic dentistry practice.  ​ The contradiction of his two professions drew attention from almost every news station in New York and he was featured in the New York Times as well. While he has since retired from his dental practice, he is still very much in the comedy world pursuing his childhood dream of being a famous comedian. This film takes a deep dive into that pursuit and tells Jeffrey's story on a very intimate level.  "Who The F*ck Is Jeffrey Gurian?" had its world premiere on Short Of The Week. ​ Director/Producer/Cinematographer/Editor - Derek Brown Associate Producer - Jacob Salzberg Graphic Design/Illustration/Animation - Rich Schemm Colorist - Frankie Turiano Post Sound Mixer - Gaelan Mullins Music Supervisor - Ethan Converse Original Music - Alex Collier & Lincoln Lute

Black Ice by Christopher Dormoy

Black Ice is a personnal project I worked on during the period of the COVID-19 pandemic and the confinement. Having to stay home does not mean less creation. It is time to observe and experience elements and details of our daily life that we find at home. I wanted to play with ice, flower and ink and see what kind of universe I can created with the macro and motion timelapse technique. I spent many hours to observe and experiment the ice and how it react with liquids like ink but also, oil, paint and soap. Some effects are hypnotic and surprising. To realise this project, I used a Nikon Z6 with a Atomos Ninja V and the Edelkrone ecosystem. I used 2 lenses: The Nikkor Macro 105mm and the Loawa 24mm.

The Felling of Colston by Arthur Cauty

Chronicling the felling of the statue of Edward Colston–a 17th Century slave trader–during a Black Lives Matter protest in Bristol, England, and how this act of rebellion made waves across the UK and the World. June 7th 2020. Sparked by the tragic death of George Floyd in Minnesota, 10,000 people took to the streets of Bristol to make a stand against police brutality, discrimination and systemic racism. The statue of Edward Colston was tied, pulled from its pedestal, rolled to the harbour, and poetically dumped into the very port used to transport millions of slaves in the 1700’s. The event trended Worldwide, prompting similar acts across the UK and the World. What does this mean for other statues and symbols of problematic historic figures? How do we remember the past without glorifying the horrific deeds perpetrated by these people?
