Wed 11: Day of Rest
Written
and Directed by Andy Oxley & David Williams
Day of Rest ... is not only that,
it's a day to do whatever we please. This documentary peers into the lives of six members of our nation as they show us
what Sunday means to them.
Thu 12: La Legende~Dali
Written and directed by Tom Austin
La Legende~Dali is a surreal comedy
docu-drama which looks at the life and work of Spanish painter and film-maker Salvador Dali. Set in a boxing gym, it tells
in a theatrical way, how his odd family (including his dead brother) helped shape the young man into becoming arguably the
twentieth century's greatest painter.
With reverential references to his and Bunuel's ground-breaking
film, Un Chien Andaloux, and his collaboration with Hitchcock on Spellbound, its aim is to remind us how much Dali has influenced
the way we look at this weird world we live in.
Fri 13: Plan B
Written and Directed by Jerri Hart
Crime and therapy collide
in this Ealing Studios-style comedy caper along with wool, cake high heels and an unhealthy dose of attitude.
Sat 14: The Hairy Hands
Written, Directed and Animated by Ashley
Thorpe
Dartmoor: the dead of night...953 square kilometres of desolate moorland...1000
ghosts...and a fugitive racing a haunted road to meet one.
'The Hairy Hands'
is the fourth in the series of 'Penny Dreadful' animations inspired by neglected aspects of English folklore. Based
upon a genuine Dartmoor legend it draws upon such influences as Alfred Hitchcock, Film Noir and 'The Hammer House of Horror'.
"When you reach into the dark...sometimes the dark reaches back."
