Godless Animals

Lorenzo Gonnelli speaks to DN about fracturing his thriller short Godless Animals (Animali Senza Dio) through dual visual languages—warm, imperfect phone footage against cold, detached camerawork—as a young woman drags a lifeless body across a remote beach, the nature of her connection surfacing only in fragments.

That Night

Director Emma Miranda Moore reveals how she weaved the unreliability of memory into the cinematic fabric of her drama short That Night, where a young writer repeatedly reconstructs the last evening he spent with an estranged friend, each recollection uniquely rebuilt rather than replayed.

Three Minutes

In her bathtub-set short Three Minutes Annika Chavez draws us into an intimate, improvisational two-hander about the space between knowing and not knowing—two best friends, a pregnancy test, and three minutes of unbearable waiting—with unconditional love punctuated by catty barbs.

Long Black

A short film inspired by writer/director Alex Barnes-Auld's bladder-busting experience of being caught short yet denied relief by a series of self-important baristas, Long Black is a power struggle comedy that combines British humour, the style of a Spaghetti Western, and old school practical effects.
