Media Intrusion

Somewhere in Todmorden, strange bleeps and burbles seep through a sunshine dappled wood, where an uncanny analogue invasion is taking place. Real and cartoon worlds collide in a stop motion animation by internationally exhibited artist Vincent James and sound artist Sam Mcloughlin, that deserves to be rewound and watched again. Following on from her previous submission of Alice 404 to the Yorkshire Short Film Competition, local Leeds filmmaker Kate Graham returns with Scrum, a film about a single mum struggling to come to terms with her teenage daughter’s love of rugby league and the subsequent pain and joy motherhood brings.
