TIME BASCULE

Dir. Di Mainstone / UK / 2020 / 29mins

Part of our SuperNature theme, Mainstone reimagines a London landmark as a focal point for a make-believe world retelling a forgotten chapter of the structure’s history. That of Hannah Griggs, a keen gardener and Cook-In-Service to the Bridge Master 1911-1915.


SENSORIA SHORTS – a selection of Sheffield short films & video (33 mins) featuring Polyhymns, Nick Powell, Ed Cosens and an animated film by ESU.


20 NIGHTS

Dir. Cole Morris / UK / 2020 / 5m 30s

“An experimental film based on a series of dreams I had over 20 nights in October / November 2020. Many of the dreams involved the extremes of the elements and my anxious relationship with my surrounding environment, the city and the wider world. The film features oceans, rain, wind and snow storms, wild landscape, menacing city streets, and forests,
The film is a combination of Video / Animation and Print and I created the soundtrack from my own environmental recordings and using Logic Pro. The soundtrack is experimental, uneasy and uncomfortable, echoing my fears for the future and how we may end up living.”


NOTHING WAS HAPPENING (Lockdown Remix) – POLYHYMNS

Dir. Mat Fleming / UK / 2021 / 6mins

This video features the Star and Shadow Cinema in Newcastle. There is no audience and no band – only the visuals and music. This creates a lonely, detached and almost apocalyptic feel, reflecting the past year without live music. We feel this sense of isolation – and the loss that comes with it.


OUT OF KEY – NICK POWELL

Dir.s PSYNC, Nick Powell / UK / 2021 / 6mins

From Nick Powell’s ‘Walls Fall Down’ LP. Video created by PSYNC (Sheffield), Nick Powell (London), and artists Chin Keeler and Emma Tornero (London). The video features Nick’s daughter AYla and also original 8mm footage from his family archive featuring his own parents and grandparents. Monopoly apocalypse created at Praxis N16, London.


FORTUNES FAVOUR – ED COSENS

Dir. Dan Thorburn / UK / 2021 / 16mins

A short film made to accompany Ed Cosens debut album ‘Fortunes Favour’.
The film was made by Manchester based Flat Cat Films. It was filmed on location in Sheffield and follows a semi-autobiographical story centered around a will they/won’t they narrative of two characters.
