Bingham Bryant’s shorts begin with encounters that become increasingly strange and captivating through the very act of attending to them. In Foreign Powers, a woman (Hannah Gross) recounts a dream in which familiar people inhabit an unfamiliar city. Doomed and Famous traces a portrait of writer and collector Adrian Dannatt through an exhibition of his artworks, accompanied by a voice that moves between biography and philosophy, while in Untitled, a view across Porto’s rooftops becomes a restless exploration of light, movement and passing time.

To coincide with the Off-Circuit release of his new film Mirage, we are delighted to present the UK premiere of three of Bryant's short films alongside the first ever screenings of two short films still in progress.

The screening will be followed by an in-person Q&A with Bingham Bryant and Adrian Dannatt.
