Sightlines

North American Premiere

In the mid-Twentieth Century, Britain sent surveyors out to map the world. Using their aerial photographs and the super 8 film they took of their expeditions, we explore colonialism and its consequences, as they are being played out today, in a hillside village in Kenya.

Unplugged

Montana Premiere

Vera, a private detective retired to the village where she grew up as shepherdess, and Pera, the know-it-all peasant of many esoteric skills, are the last remaining leaf-players -  both in the autumns of their lives, still strongly blowing into leaves. Josip is an amateur inventor set out to decode the obscure artistry of leaf-playing. “Unplugged” is an existential allegory about music played on tree leaves, humorously rattling between the most primitive of instruments and the most universal escapism of music. Music has rarely been so offbeat.

Mr Fogg

World Premiere

In a funny, heart warming and ultimately moving portrait,  Mr Fogg offers us an intimate look at a man looking back at his life. Through the idiosyncrasy’s of Eric Fogg’s daily routine we gain a very personal insight into his life, its glories as well as losses.
