Alcohol-related deaths from liver disease among women under 40 have risen sharply over the last decade – but why?

She is one of a growing number of young women who have experienced alcohol-related liver damage, despite not regarding herself as being dependent on alcohol.

GLITCH

Andrea Nastri is a successful entrepreneur who founded a company that deals with a very particular market: making people relive lived experiences through sophisticated projection technology. Andrea lost his father as a child, so this technology represents a way for him to be able to relive him. This process being very invasive is also much criticized by the press and newspapers. Pushed by the desire to make his father's hologram more real, Andrea will push himself beyond all limits, abusing the technology and immersing himself in a world where the line between real and projection is blurred. Only by accepting the truth will Andrea be able to rid himself of his fears.

Rebels with Cause

Guerrilla gardening is not for the faint hearted. Or at least, that’s what these two rebels tell us, as we follow them on an eye-opening journey around London - throwing seeds everywhere and anywhere, planting spider plants, and planning their ‘Big Project’. But when they finally track down the Original Guerrilla Gardeners (OGGs), and learn what guerrilla gardening really entails and how it's helping our communities, their beliefs and friendship are put to the test. In this humorous mockumentary, we meet the people who are doing their bit to bring ‘botanarchy’ to our urban spaces.

S'well

Ella used water as this universal way to connect us all, showcasing the beauty of glistening water as they trained to take part in a swim for Palestine. The film shows many conversations had between Ella and their best friend as they trained for their marathon swim. They spoke of the endurance and new found understanding of what one’s body is capable of when in a great body of water, and one has no way of turning back. Ella’s message is clear, that liberation can be beautiful, liberation can be heart breaking, liberation can be a great body of water, liberation can be found in the smallest of things but the grandest of feelings. Such as swimming through water.

Parsifal

Animated short film based on motifs from the opera PARSIFAL by Richard Wagner. The film deals with power and gender structures that use a religious context as a pretext. Wagner's work is critically examined and re-evaluated from a very personal perspective. This is done in an entertaining way that does not shy away from a popular and allusive form. The newly composed music by Nico Gaik takes up the most important leitmotifs of Wagner's opera and at the same time makes a tongue-in-cheek reference to the popular sound of big Holywood blockbusters.

Younger: Looking Forward to Getting Older

In a quiet corner, far removed from big money, celebrity status and drug scandals lies the true value of sport. This is a film about friendship and purpose in masters athletics, a place where every five years, getting older means becoming the youngest. Younger follows a group of female athletes in their 60s, 70s and 80s over the course of a year as they prepare to compete in masters competitions. In these competitions, athletes compete in age groups that span five years, 60-64, 65-69 etc. When an athlete moves up an age group they are then the youngest, and this means they are more likely to win or break records. So, as they approach the top end of their classification, they look forward to being a year older and moving up to the next group where they will be the new kid on the block again.
