Watch Party - Watch the Body programme along with other festival goers and get involved in the live chat!
As we move about our lives, our bodies are constantly changing, evolving with each new experience and passing day; we’re no longer the person we were five or ten years ago, despite occupying the same vessel. Each wrinkle, ache, and alteration we make to our bodies is a tale worth telling. Embrace your ever-changing body and inner storyteller with this intimate programme of films opening up the discussion about exploring gender and sexuality, the untold sacrifices of motherhood, our different abilities and disabilities, and how we as humans are continuing to advance with the constant rise of technology.
Optimistic Harry attends an interview which will decide if he can carry on receiving benefits that enable him to live a sustainable life. The tough, unforgiving interview forces him to retreat to his imagination, a softer world, full of wool and crochet.
Stitch is an animated short film which highlights the need for change in the way we treat the sick and disabled in the UK.
