14:15 Luminary/Audio visual short fantasy
A film by James Harris
Audio visual fantasy
As a teenager, I used to regularly go cycling though the forest used in the film. I also used to imagine a mysterious world of lights around me as I cycled through it. This film is in part a realisation of that idea.
Process:
It was filmed using a Canon XH A1 and a GoPro Hero 2. It was edited in Final Cut Pro, and the visual effects were created using After Effects CS5 and Cinema 4D. The soundtrack was written in Logic Pro 8.

A film by Venetia Taylor
Comedy
Synopsis When you're young and in love the future seems bright... but then what?
14:45 Luella and Me/comedy drama
A film by Robert Howells
Comedy-Drama
Synopsis - Alonzo is a loner who spends his days working and living inside his ice-cream van - Luella. When local authorities stop turning a blind eye to his eccentric way of life, he teams up with a drifting street-performer, Iris, to stop both the van and himself from becoming another relic of times lost. Set amidst the bleak beauty of small-town South Wales, Luella and Me is a film about the little ironies in life, and the friendships that can blossom from them.

15:15 Flanagan's Wake/documentary.
A film by Peter Bach
Documentary
Synopsis-A personal journey undertaken by filmmaker Peter Bach after four trips to Afghanistan and two to Pakistan. In this film he makes a personal vow to world-renowned and some say shamanistic artist Barry Flanagan who is wrestling with Motor Neuron Disease on the island of Ibiza that he will travel the world and bring back footage of strangers by his public works and film the artist watching this as he wrestles with his disease. As well as a celebration of and homage to the artist, it is a journey of discovery across Europe and the United States, in which the filmmaker leaves Afghanistan well behind. Poetic, moving, travelsome, it tries to be both worldly and intimate at the same time. When the artist dies, the film enters its third and final act.
