Through animated poems, music videos and performances, these filmmakers celebrate the power of storytelling through movement and sound, rather than dialogue. Join us for a programme filled with music videos, performances and animated poems where melodies meet motion on the big screen, creating a sensory feast for the soul.
  

Shine (Dir: Adam Pelling-Deeves) - United Kingdom - 4:14min
