Watch Party - Watch the Heart programme along with other festival goers and get involved in the live chat!


One of the most important organs in the body, the heart keeps our blood pumping and oxygen levels in check. For centuries it’s also been linked to one of the strongest and most complex human emotions: love. Love is all around us, and comes in many forms: from romance to friendship, family bonds to the love we feel for our pets. This touching programme showcases stories about learning how to love ourselves, the excitement of a summer adventure with your best mates, to the exhilaration of a first kiss. Open up your heart and fall in love with these beautiful short films.

Learning to love someone can be scary, but it can also lead to the most marvellous adventure. With a striking illustrative style, writer/director Efa Blosse-Mason tells the story of Heledd and Celyn who navigate the undiscovered and murky waters of entering a new relationship. Facing vulnerability and a sea monster, the lover’s odyssey tests the strength of their Leaf Boat. Through the bewitching power of 2D animation this film explores the internal worlds of the characters emotions which are visualized through seasons and stormy seas.
