For this special event we scouted the very best local gems. A small gesture of 'thank you' for the immense support over all those years, this programme is dedicated to the East Anglia region cinephiles.
COMMON GROUND (33 mins)
Director: The Field Theatre Group
With a local cast spanning the generations, this production by Littleport's Field Theatre Group marks the culmination of an ambitious community endeavour to depict episodes of Fen Life from the early 1900s in all its aspects: harsh, funny, bleak and above all inspiring.
WAVING AT TRAINS (9 mins)
Director: Sean Crotty
Past and present collide as Douglas relives tragic events of his childhood through the world of his model railway.
FOR CULTURAL PURPOSES ONLY (9mins)
Director: Sarah Wood
Lost in 1982, the Palestinian Film Archive contained over 100 films of daily life. This experimental film essay investigates what it would feel like to never see an image of the place you came from.
BLUEBERRY (12 mins)
Director: Matthew Sanger
A little girl's pet snake has designs on eating her up in this film about family break-up.
THE HEAD VS THE HEART (6 mins)
Director: Lisa Thompson
Before Sam can ask a girl out he must first resolve the conflict between his heart and his head... literally!
DIAMOND ACES (4 mins)
Director: Alex Stanlake
A young man recalls the last time he saw his father - when the old man's work meant to drive to a strip club.
A FAMILY PORTRAIT (4 mins)
Director: Joseph Pierce
A family portrait goes horribly wrong as jealousy and suspicion bubble to the surface under the photographer's relentless gaze.
