Programme (Certification PG):

Deer Park

DIR: ANDREW FINCH. 15 MINS.

A short film exploring the sites of the British post-industrial group Coil. Tracing a psychogeographic lineage between East Sussex, London and Somerset, the work weaves through the landscapes of Psychic TV and Coil, unearthing the British occultism that underpinned this shadowy and truly alternative musical history.

Dorothy

DIR: ZOE MANDERS. 8 MINS.

Described as a pillar of the town, Dorothy owned and single-handedly ran Chloe Antiques since 1963 - a tiny, bursting at the seams treasure trove in Worthing. Following her death, this short film documents the remaining objects being meticulously packed away by a fellow antique trader, who tells the story of her life - her shop.

Head. Hand. Heart.

DIR: MATT GREEN. 8 MINS.

The film follows woodworker Josh Cadman as he constructs a 20m rose arbour for the National Trust at William Morris's former home. Using medieval techniques, it reflects on the industrialisation of design, the arts and crafts movement, and how ancient methods can help us reconnect with our shared past.

The Influence of Ping Pong is Big

DIR: CALEB YULE. 12 MINS.
The story of Brighton Table Tennis Club through the eyes of coach Wen Wei Xu, revealing the impact of the game on both players and mentors alike.

The Brightonian

DIR: DAN CORNS. 30 MINS.
Based on an interview recorded in 2012, this film reflects on the life of Robert Gregory, an architect, local historian and Brightonian. This moving, affectionate film explores themes of memory, history and place, with Robert reflecting on his extraordinary life and the close connection he had with the city of his birth.
