The animated and live-action films in this block show humanity’s most challenging moments and explore the weight of love, memories, loss, and survival. These are the impactful stories we carry, the ones that stay with us long after the credits roll.
A man's search for meaning in his meaningless existence through heroism, fantasy, and a connection with a stranger.
Inspired by conversations with homeless people and the book 'Man's Search for Meaning' by Viktor E. Frankl, KILL delves into the psyche of a rough sleeper, Shaun, who spends his days circling the tracks of London's Docklands Light Railway.
We are asked to question Shaun’s purpose. Is he a killer, on his way to commit murder? Is his a vigilante, guarding the train carriage like a faithful dog? Or is he simply finding warmth and shelter on the DLR, travelling around and round, just to kill the day"?
When a couple get onto the train and sit behind him, their conversation draws his attention. The man berates the woman, who sits in stoic but uneasy silence. Shaun is faced with a choice. He can use his low social status to intimidate the aggressor, or he can do nothing at all...
