- The Bird Game is a wicked fairy tale in which a loquacious and bloodthirsty crow, voiced by Joanne Whalley, lures six children to a secluded mansion and snares them in a sequence of deranged games. It mixes dismembered parts of Sleeping Beauty and Ovid's Metamorphoses into a sinister witch's brew. Crow may be a villain but she is also an enchantress, a masterful storyteller and, in her climactic retelling of how she became a bird, a strange and scarred kind of heroine. Also featured in this hellish tale of childhood and transformation are a wolf-haunted lullaby, dirty Disney costumes, eels, and an enucleated eyeball (Text by Charlie Fox). Directed by Marianna Simnett, co-written by Marianna Simnett & Charlie Fox, produced by Sophie Neave, shot on 16mm by Robbie Ryan BSC, starring Joanne Whalley as 'Crow', music by Oliver Coates, and performed by live birds and children at Waddesdon Manor.
- After the revolution in 1979, Iran prohibited the depiction of men and women touching on the silver screen. Since then, directors have relied on every cinematic trick in the book to mirror the ecstatic release of tension through touch - but often it is the game of glances that is enough to set a scene ablaze. Nazarbazi collages these saturated cinematic moments into a poem about love and desire in Iranian film, that also echoes our own time of physical distancing.
- Joanne is seeking to reclaim her name. For much of her life her identity has rested more on how she looks than the many things she has gone on to achieve.
- When an archaeologist is sent to excavate the remains of an Iron Age bog body, he finds the unexpected. The bog body has awakened to deliver him a stark warning; he must confront the impending storm of ecological collapse or face unfathomable disaster.
- Feed Me is a larger than life fairy tale, part TV talent show, part thriller, video game in which Maclean plays all the parts.
- The Poor Stockinger, the Luddite Cropper and the Deluded Followers of Joanna Southcott focuses on the work of the Marxist historian Edward Palmer Thompson, who was employed from 1946 by the Workers' Education Association to teach literature and social history to adults in the industrial towns of the West Riding. These classes were open to people who historically had been unable to access a university education. Thompson became synonymous with the discipline of 'cultural studies' that emerged in Post-War Britain. Artist Luke Fowler draws together archival material from television, local sources and the Workers' Education Association archive itself, and combines them with new film and audio gathered on location in the former West Riding region of Yorkshire.
- Blue-skinned astronauts, that could come from our distant past, face off against post-apocalyptic tribal group from far off into our future, in a parable about violence, resistance and quantum theory.
- Human beings are horribly blind to the effect that they have on the natural environment. Yet all around us those repercussions reverberate.
- The Eye That Articulates Belongs on Land offsets beguiling images of unspoilt nature with graphic visual evidence of the 're-wilding' of the landscape around the atomic plant since particular areas became off-limits to human access.
- The periphrastic confessions of a computer-generated figure.
- How do you sum up a life? Me - a name on a headstone. Mine - all the things and the traces one leaves behind.
- 'You Know Nothing of My Work', is a multi-chapter rumination on the cultural dilemma of the disgraced popular icon, the tension between a problematic past and a more enlightened present, and the role of the male voice in a post-Me Too era.
- Undead Sun is a reflexion on the elemental forces that WWI unleashed, the demons haunting society at the time and the products that continue to shape our contemporary experience.
- The boxer is out for the count - or fears he is. The Queen is dead - or thinks she is. Through theatrical conventions of melodrama and tragedy, these parallel universes collide to consider affinities between different experiences of loss.
- Inspired by the myth of Persephone and her abduction and imprisonment in the underworld, Daria Martin's Wintergarden is a spellbinding slowdive into the subterranean shadows of the psyche. The film follows the descent-into-darkness (and subsequent recovery) of a young female protagonist, whose unsteady recuperation at a seaside sanatorium is coloured by Martin's own preoccupation with the past, and her penchant for artistic re-creation and revival.
- A group of different people are asked to defend their citizenship and right to reside in the UK. What rights do we all really have?
- Alluding to one of Schwitters' lesser-known faces, as the author of playfully absurdist children's tales, Andrea Luka Zimmerman's Merzschmerz is a series of short recordings of young children reciting these stories from memory.
