SCREENING WITH Q&A

Camera Test (King Cadbury)

The director just wanted to test a new camera and use an expired 16mm film stock. Seeing his crew out of ideas, Charlie Shackleton tells an amusing family story involving a 1963 Cadbury ad.

Lasting Marks

A look at Operation Scanner, during Margaret Thatcher’s final days in power, a case where the police arrested 16 men convicted of the crime of filming consensual behavior linked to sadomasochism. Their story has been told by everyone but themselves.

Personal Truth

A film that was inspired by Pizzagate, one of the most absurd conspiracy theories that came out of the 2016 US elections between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, and which leads Charlie Shackleton to take a theory from his youth in order to explore notions of scepticism.

Missing Episode

Poet and artist Ross Sutherland and his parents were watching an episode of the British soap opera EastEnders when they were interrupted, and they never finished it. This film revisits that episode twenty years later.

Copycat

Charlie Shackleton explores a possible vein of inspiration for one of the most successful horror films in American cinema, Wes Craven’s iconic Scream (1996): an obscure film by Rolfe Kanefsky, There’s Nothing Out There, which works in the same metatextual universe that winks at the horror genre.

Fish Story

A film that threads the blurred line between documentary and fiction to explore a story that seems to be more myth than reality: Caspar Salmon tells us how, in 1980, he attended a meeting on an island in Wales where only people with surnames related to fish were present.
