Films

Bury The Dogs by Beth Rowland

A coming of age drama about the vulnerability of masculinity, the cracks that form in childhood friendships, and the frailty of father figures. When Ant introduces childhood friend Emily to his new and much older friend Tosh, cracks start to show in their longstanding friendship.

It's Fine by Lily Cork Butters

As a young woman reflects on her early intimate experiences, she is confronted with the reality that they may have been more harmful than she first thought.

The Golden Post Box by Julia Mervis

The Golden Postbox is a short documentary capturing the trials and tribulations of a postbox in Sheffield. Having been illustriously painted gold in the peak of 2012, this wry, and probably tear-jerking, 3-minute film documents the postbox's changing relationship to a changing city. The film was shot in one day, another on a 2012 camcorder, and edited in another, as a commission for the 2024 Filmmaker Challenge at Sheffield Doc Fest. It was nominated for best micro-short at the 2025 BFI Future Film Festival & won the Audience Choice Award at Canon Stories in Motion competition.
