Shorts: UK – Fireworks
Part of the Shorts Strand
Six striking, brand-new short films bursting with creative vision, imagination and directorial talent from the UK film scene. Robert Burns’ Tam o’ Shanter is re-imagined in a gritty, contemporary metropolitan setting; intergenerational power dynamics are explored to explosive ends; Scottish folk culture is woven into the tale of a small boy’s elemental connection to the natural world; and the corrosive effect of cyberculture upon the fragile process of interpersonal connection is wittily exposed.
