This programme contains just four films, yet each of them pack in an incredible amount of humanity and complexity. At the International Butler Academy, candidates learn to serve the “elite” with rituals from another time (The Ballet of Service). Not far from there, in Germany, a social worker and a conspiracy theorist watch Youtube videos in an unsettling film that completely blurs the boundary between fiction and reality (Adrenochrom). In the US, a young Black man struggles with his identity (Not Black Enough). And from all over the world, birds gather to discuss freedom of speech, in the most original Zoom conversation you'll attend this year (International Dawn Chorus Day). Four films like four snapshots of the strange world we live in.


Total running time: 63 mins


CAST YOUR VOTE! These films are eligible for the audience award, as well as the Best Short and WTF awards, given out by our jury.

Winners will be revealed at the Flatpack Awards do on 30 May (free event, booking essential).


BONUS FEATURES:

Not Black Enough: Interview with Jermaine Manigault

Everyone pursues their own interests. Who, here, makes up the action? We were caught up in the film in the first lockdown, watching a relationship between a social worker, a conspiracy believer and a film maker. Almost like Big Brother.


This film is only available to viewers in the UK and Northern Ireland.
