Festival Favourites from 40 years

10s, part 1

Our main anniversary programme Festival favourites from 40 years is a treasure trove of short film candy from across the festival history. There are winners of Oscars and Palm D’Ors – not to mention our own Jackdaw of course. First and foremost these are the audience favourites. 5 programmes neatly lined up – but sometimes wildly unkempt – per decade, for us to enjoy taste over time.

THE EXTERNAL WORLD

A boy learns how to play the piano.

SYMPHONY NO. 42

PANDAS

They are left all alone in the forest to fend themselves. One day an all too active primate, the human being, finds them and they quickly become a pawn in man’s games.

OH WILLY..

Forced to return to his naturist roots, Willy bungles his way into noble savagery.

TRAM

Men get on the tram to get to work, all similar, grey. This day the tram conductress’ desire turns reality into a surrealistic and phallic fantasy.

Czech Republic, France 2012 / 7:00 / Director: Michaela Pavlátová

THE MASS OF MEN

Richard, an unemployed 55-year-old, arrives 3 minutes late for his appointment at a job centre. An advisor, stifled by the limits of the system she works in, has no choice but to penalise him for his tardiness. To avoid plunging further into destitution, Richard takes desperate measures.

United Kingdom 2012 / 17:00 / Director: Gabriel Gauchet
