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.

Ihavenovoiceandimustscream

Inspired by the sci-fi novel I have no mouth and i must scream, ihavenovoiceandimustscream dives into the mind of someone with social anxiety. Using archive material from popular films that famously showcase idealised friendships and relationships with others, (Wayne's World, Bill and Ted's excellent adventure, Clue, Eraserhead, The Room, and Finding Nemo), and original music by the director, the visual poem encapsulates the feeling of losing ones own voice when around other people and the difficulty of connecting with others and expressing oneself.

Mirie It Is (Dusking II)

Dusking is a project by the artist Lucy Wright—a newly invented tradition, conceived as the counterpart to the morris dancing that takes place on 1 May marking the arrival of summer. Taking place instead on 31 October, it invites participants—who join in remotely around the world—to ‘dance the sun down’ and honour the gifts of rest, reflection and replenishment associated with the darker months of the year. 'Mirie it is' is Lucy’s own contribution to this continuing tradition, a 3-part performance embodying each of the three stages of scientific twilight—civil, when the sun dips between 0 and 6 degrees below the horizon; nautical (when it’s below 12 degrees – and most stars can be seen with the naked eye) and astronomical, when just a little light is still left in the sky.

Sperm Donors Wanted!

Follow Krishna Istha, a transgender performance artist, as he interviews hundreds of potential sperm donors live on stage—a quest to find the perfect connection, one that will enable him and his partner to start their family. Due to a lack of resources for trans people wanting to biologically conceive, Krishna has created a durational theatre show and through his on-stage interviews with strangers, he attempts to find the “perfect” sperm donor. The film unravels a compelling exploration of human connection and the unique dynamics of queer family-making.
