Bad Romance

Friday 23rd November

DESCRIPTION

Spoiler alert: relationships are messy. A selection of poignant, touching and not-quite-romantic takes on relationships and hook-ups. Meet-cutes that turn awkward, not-so-simple polyamorous marriages and toxic relationships: romance ain’t easy! An evening of not-quite-romantic fantasies, these funny, poignant and fantastically on-point shorts are a perfect treat for a cynical heart.

In Wonderland

IN WONDERLAND

In Wonderland is the story of a life together.

It begins and ends in the same moment – on a beach where Alice has come to say goodbye to Michael. It’s both the story of that one moment and the tale of their whole relationship, seen through the shifting sands of Alice’s memory. The beach is where she and Michael first met, and we loop back to that meeting then reel forward through time - to their first date, to moving in together, to trying to start a family. Set between the wild shore and their home, we see Alice’s memories of place and time begin to merge.

Nominated for:

Production Design Award - Isobel Dunhill
Editing Award - Eleanor McNaughtan
