The Blue Rose of Forgetfulness, dir. Lewis Klahr, USA 2021, 113 min., English
Inspired by the blue rose that doesn’t exist, but is a symbol of the unattainable, and which is found in Chinese folklore and Persian fairytales, this epic animation is more melodrama than superhero narrative.
Screening with:
Roary
Dir. David Leister, UK 2022, 6min.
A simple studio ident is deconstructed to reveal more than you’d expect about what lies behind the image of Hollywood. This film contains flashing images.
Staging Death
Dir. Jan Soldat, Austria/Germany 2022, 8min.
Before the recent Swan Song, actor Udo Kier had already died 70 times in very different ways. Here’s the proof.
Jill, Uncredited
Dir. Anthony Ing, prod. Catherine Bray, Anthony Ing & Charlie Shackleton, Canada/UK 2022, 18min.
A fascinating portrait of one of the characters we don’t see when we watch a film – Jill Goldston, the UK’s most prolific background actor.
Blind Yellow Sunshine
Dir. Adonia Boucherhri, UK 2022, 18min.
The world has turned yellow, and people carry stuffed birds under their arms in this anxious and alienated environment.
