Review: Family Portrait
A fascinating and beautifully imagined film showing us the value of family, no matter what form.
Genre: Fringe Film
Review: There’s Another Country
Though a slow, cumulative film, intensely personal and keeping to that, there are sudden sidesteps out – as with Newbury’s nurse, Freud, the Lear sequence – that pattern the message in lateral sidelight that tells. A slowly magnificent odyssey.
Review: The Emergence Festival
A fascinating evening of well-considered works that augur well for many with a real future in the arts.
A short film which follows the dance infused exploits of two performers following a beautiful tale from the time of Shakespeare.
Review: Thirteen Fragments
A fascinating poetic musing on the COVID pandemic focused on the resilient experience of women of colour, delivered with great panache.
Review: Shark Week
An amusing and highly engaging short film about someone having to deal with their own menstruation.
Review: Braw Tales
An innovative and bright response to the pandemic in cartoon and monologue that is as diverse as great to watch.
Review: The Macbeths
A scintillating film of claustrophobic terror in the company of the most infamous fictional duo on the stage.
