The Shed
A young woman explores herself through phantasmagoric hallucinations as she tries to overcome self-loathing and hatred.
Niches
Whether it be doing yoga with ants, printing with plants, observing the quantum physics of cats, or considering the travel of an apple: not all teachers are human in a bustling Spanish farmhouse. While instances of interspecies care are enacted beneath the cool stone arches of this rambling structure, the ecological niches (or roles) of various beings shift along with their unexpected environmental relationships. In a heavily altered landscape composed of serrated mountains and meticulously-maintained olive groves, human intervention is readily apparent; however, sometimes trees bear knowledge in addition to green fruits, and humans shape and are shaped by their environment in equal measure.
Evelyn's Here
Alice gets lost in a haunting dream when she tries to check on her sister.
SHANIDAR
At the end of days, six strangers fight to survive in an abandoned country home. The house is quiet. The world outside is hungry.

"Filmed in the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic, this film provided Richmond's stage actors with much needed employment during a frightening time when theater house lights were dark for the foreseeable future. Similarly, Shanidar is a post-apocalyptic tale of solidarity - one that inspires hope that, in times of crisis, humans will set aside their differences and take care of one another." - MdFF programming team
