HEAR HERE

This screening brings together bold short films that consider the words and music that influence our feelings, attitudes and relationship with our surroundings. These films challenge the way we listen, the voices we hear and the ways we collaborate with the natural world. 

The programme includes Christian Cargill, ‘Recomposing Earth’ qualified for the Academy® Awards 2026, after winning Best Documentary Short at FlickerFest . Under two feet of peaty soil in Orkney, lies the only recording of Scottish composer Erland Cooper’s unheard album. In an entirely unique attempt to collaborate with the natural world, it is an experiment on patience, art and value. Will the tape emerge silent, and does it matter if it does?

The rural theme continues with BAFTA Scotland winning documentary filmmaker Will Hewitt. ‘Have You Seen the Beast‘ is a cold case rumour-mentary about sightings of an alien big cat in the rural Welsh countryside, Jacques Sorrentini’s river echoing the invisible process of  evaporation and Samy Benemar, ‘kauaʻi ʻōʻō‘, where a bird endemic to Hawaii, is recorded for the last time. 

Women’s voices are heard in Bec Evans’ hybrid documentary ‘Does that make me a woman?‘, Corinne Botz ‘Milk Factory‘ and Heather E Andrews ‘This Werewolf Complex‘ accounts of the experiences of the aura in epilepsy.

The programme also includes alternate facts, truths and half-truths from Yann Les Tours, Roger Gariepy and Miglė Križinauskaitė-Bernotienė.
