7 films in package
Starting the End
Kate’s a middle-aged woman who used to direct films but, in an ageist, sexist industry, work dried up for her, and she doesn’t anymore. Now she’s teaching filmmaking but feeling confused about her life’s purpose. A film about film, and about life imitating art.
Designing From Home
FHK Henrion, a German-Jewish émigré, designed for many famous brands - KLM, National Theatre and Tate & Lyle. He worked in the London house he shared with his sculptor wife, Daphne Hardy, and their children. A film exploring the meaning of home, belonging and work.
The Swimming Lesson
"Come in. The water’s lovely. You really ought to learn to swim. I won't let go of you.” In this super short animation, a woman encourages a young girl into the river for a swimming lesson.
An Ordinary Insanity
Not long before his death at 92, Daniel Ellsberg, famous whistleblower of the US war in Vietnam, spoke passionately to camera about the planetary threat of nuclear war. As the Doomsday clock ticks ever closer to midnight, this documentary may both terrify and galvanise you.
We'll Take It From Here, Dear: An Artist's Response
At the Moving Memory Dance Theatre Company, older women's bodies are centre stage. In this animated interpretation of one of their rehearsals, performers confront the patronising ways older women are silenced and sidelined. The dancers prepare for battle with wit, resilience and determination.
Monster in Me
A subversive spin on the mythology of women in film and the psychology of sexuality and violence, this unsettling tale asks, "How did I come out of this unbroken?"
One-Way Ticket
Today’s the day for Jeannette. Against her wishes, she’s going to have to leave her home and go into sheltered accommodation. Her family is here to help, but nothing is going as planned. And the small matter of Jeannette’s hen looms large.
