A Return to Eden – Broderick Rule (Canada)

A young woman falls victim to a local psychopathic murderer. Upon her death, she awakens in a surreal forest, a 'limbo' with an identity of its own, that helps her make it back to the land of the living, so that she can take revenge against her killer. 2024; 14 min.



The Itch – Emma Hamel (USA)

The desire to create overshadowed by a desperate desire to be good. A frantic state of wanting and the paralysis that accompanies it. 2024; 3 min.



Launching Lagrange – William Pierce (USA)

The physics of skateboarding is going to outer space. 2024; 3 min.



Lavinia – Sarah Dutton (United Kingdom)

Lavinia is inspired by a character from Shakespeare’s Titus Andronichus. Despite undergoing a huge transformation within the play, Sarah felt that there was a key moment in Lavinia’s character arc that was not featured in the text. 2024; 3 min.



Fed up – Annabelle Vine (United Kingdom)

Seymour, a gentleman of the road, is hungry and fed up. He is overjoyed when a secret benefactor leaves him daily treats, but maybe it would have been wise to look this gift horse in the mouth. 2024; 3 min.



Haunted Cursed Anxious Hateful – Brandon Scullion (USA)

Two men, haunted by the realities of their lives, confined by their bodies and surroundings, engage in a hateful battle of wills with dreadful consequences. 2024; 4 min.



garboface – Zona Gilreath (USA)

garboface is an experimental, sort-of-narrative film about, as Roland Barthes puts it, face-as-object and, as Plato definitely didn't put it, identity as pharmakon—simultaneously cure and toxin. Shot on Super 8 and edited digitally. 2024; 6 min.



Rain – Vasilios Papaioannu (USA)

Rain, as circular shapes of memory imprinted on the fast-paced celluloid or as liquid moving sculptures of the present in digital form, documents a verbal interaction between two people. 2024; 6 min.



Who the F**k is Jacky Bumpers? – Alan Halls (USA)

In a dark, grimy corner of a bar somewhere in LA, three old Barflies get to bickering about one salty, charming, two-faced swindler from the past... So, pull up a barstool, get a drink and find out just "who the F**k is Jacky Bumpers?" in this candy colored Super 8mm film. 2024; 6 min.



Sometimes I Hear the Light Leak in Through the Corners of My Room – Jeremiah Carter (USA)

Heartbroken, Madeline goes out on the town ruminating on the cyclical nature of love. She passes from one thrill to another looking for answers. Relationships come and go but memories are forever. 2024; 9 min.



Wrecked a Bunch of Cars, Had a Good Time – James P Gannon and Matt Ferrin (USA)

In America, the things we create we also find a way to destroy. We follow four people who have never met but will smash each other to smithereens in a Demolition Derby. 2024; 12 min.
