| Tattoo |
| Dir: Jules Williamson
2001 UK 17mins |
| An extraordinary
film debut, Tattoo is a very big small film, shot on epic romantic
scale (beautiful cinematography by Daf Hobson whose feature credits
include Welcome To Sarajevo). The story follows the return of a prodigal
son for the funeral of his tattoo-artist father and how he comes to
terms with the past he left behind and to which he owes his present.
Tattoo was runner up at the Edinburgh Film Festival and is now include
in the official selection for nomination at the 2003 Oscars. |

| Field |
| Dir: Duane Hopkins
2001 UK 10mins |
Field has won more international festival awards than most of us have
had hot dinners and it is easy to see why. This is a compelling portrait
of teenage frustration and the consequences of actions born out of
the isolation and boredom of modern rural life. It is beautifully
paced and composed as it follows three kids "entertaining" themselves
one summer afternoon. Gradually their games extend and twist, both
logically and illogically, but with frightening familiarity, into
one chilling moment of madness.

| Rob
Of The Rovers |
| Dir:
Ashley Horner 2001 UK 10mins |
The partnership of Michael Mitchell and Ashley Horner has been working
in the region since 1999. Their first feature Another Girl, Another
Planet shoots in 2003. Here is a chance to catch one of their
short works that have taken the company from their start-up to their
first feature, the brilliant Rob Of The Rovers. Welcome to
a day in the life of Rob Meadows, a sports teacher at a local comp
and a wreck of a man. By turns hilarious and tragic, Rob's life is
revealed in ten minute's action every bit as telling as an episode
of The Office; with Gary Lewis of Billy Elliot
fame in the lead role and Gavin William's razor-sharp script delivered
by the "child" inside Rob's Head.
