Children’s Children

Presented directly to camera, to the viewer, this poetic short cleverly weaves together five historical testimonies gathered from 1851 to 2020, exposing a circularity of female and racial repression. As the past moves into the present. How much of our history do we carry, and who is responsible for change? From first- time student filmmaker, director and writer Daniel Hope, this dark and surreal animation introduces us to Bill (Julian Barratt) who battles in vain to re-woo Deb (Julia Davis) with his below-par outdoor skills and, quite frankly, shocking behaviour, until their last-ditch camping trip takes a very sinister turn.
