Flatpack On Demand No.2

Welcome to our second online shorts programme.

We invite you to take a stroll through the park in people-watcher’s dream Green Space. Imagine cities of the future aboard the hand-painted Architects Cruise. Contemplate everyday existence and monotonous routines in Where is Ornicar? And finish off with filmmaker Nikita Diakur’s attempt to face his fears and finally pull off a backflip - with the help of machine learning and his very own avatar (Backflip).

Green Space won best short at last year’s Flatpack Festival, with jury members saying:

“Green Space uses the simple but highly effective economy of a fixed camera position to birds’ eye view on a number of London “parklife” scenes. An impressive cast and sharply written vignettes make Green Space compelling viewing for the curious voyeur! Each encounter weaves a new story and cross over plots take us on a journey over the course of a day in a surprising and immersive film that we thought was clever, inventive and cinematic."

Enjoy!
