This programme contains flashing imagery, it may not be safe for those with epilepsy and other conditions with sensitivity to light.
While Mockingbird Screen 2 is accessible by wheelchair, there is currently no access to the disabled toilet from this screen.
The 5 short film competition programmes are presented with captions for D/deaf and Hard-of-Hearing audiences.
Full to the brim with striking style and smart concepts, this selection of films amuse, surprise and mesmerise.
Dive into psychedelic paradise with the wonderful animation Goodbye Jérôme!. Then journey to Point Nemo, the most remote location on the planet (and a cemetery for space objects) in the fascinating film essay The Empty Sphere.
Other dizzying delights in this programme include the reflections of an existentialist tennis ball (Tennis Ball on His Day Off, by the creator of Flatpack fave Bloop's Birthday) and for the grand finale, the exuberant MeTube 3: August Sings “Una Furtiva Lagrima” is the opera-tribute you didn't know you needed.
