SHORT FILMS IN THIS PROGRAMME

Please note this short film programme contains flashing images.

Ambush | Kameen

A pop-up techno club in Amman. Inside, Jana’s fresh start is being challenged. Outside, Hasan quietly swallows heartbreak. They are two strangers on opposite sides of the street. A mesmerising portrait of loneliness, longing and resilience in a city in flux. Yorkshire Premiere | Yassmina Karajah | Canada, Jordan | 2025 | 21 mins | Arabic

Milk

A tooth extraction introduces a watchful child to his mother’s new love. In Milk, tenderness turns grotesque, ordinary gestures uncanny, and love unfolds as a tale equal parts sweet and unsettling. International Premiere | Filippo Marasco | Italy | 2026 | 18 mins | Italian

Chica

12-year-old Dadá sets off with her younger brother Tato to deliver a chicken to a local restaurant. But when she discovers Tato’s close bond with the chicken, the journey becomes an awakening to vegetarianism, violence, and the power of imaginative play. English Premiere | João Victor Silva, Matheus Malburg | Brazil | 2026 | 14 mins | Portuguese

Gloryland

A dream of an enigmatic light triggers disappearances, leaving behind glowing human silhouettes. Hazy and experimental, the tale is witnessed in an eden-like allotment garden, where non-human witnesses and rumours of a healer from Mauritius deepen the mystery. International Premiere | Pauline Pichard | Switzerland | 2026 | 13 mins | French

“Vaterland” or A Bule Named Yanto

When German-Indonesian Yanto returns to Yogyakarta from Berlin, he finds his younger sister belongs more effortlessly than he does. Equally hilarious and heartbreaking, this sharp episodic portrait of mixed-race identity captures the ache of in-betweenness. Yorkshire Premiere | Berthold Wahjudi | Germany, Indonesia | 2026 | 25 mins | English, German, Indonesian
