	Desires [Kate Jessop, 2006, 1.42’]. Desires is a composite of stop frame and drawn animation and live action footage. A delightfully tender adaptation of Gaia Holme’s poem.

	Tingal Tangel [Kathryn Ferguson, UK, 2006, 1.57’] 'I found an old photograph of a wooden dance machine from a Weimar Berlin Cabaret show. It inspired me to build a wooden dance machine that parodied the old chorus lines of the 1920's. ' Kathryn Ferguson
	The Other Man [Dicynna Hood, 2006, 15’] Winner of both the Edinburgh International Film Festival and the UK Film Council Kodak Best Short Film Award, The Other Man, starring BAFTA nominated Anna Maxwell Martin (Bleak House), is a brilliantly observed story about a husband's reaction to some shocking news.
	Sleep With the Fishes [Belle Mellor, 2005, 4'] A flotilla of imagined vessels glide across a bright blue sea, struggling to stay afloat. This bizarre and wonderful animation is set to enchanting music of the Tiger Lilies.
