Wind Honey (USA)

5:00 PM

Director: Steph Mantis & Bruce Willeng

Float through the cosmos inside a single drop of honey. Shot using a microscope, Wind Honey takes us on a meditative, abstract journey through a golden, viscous universe. Under great magnification, bubbles and sugar granules become planets and galaxies. An ethereal ambient track by the band Peals (William Cashion of Future Islands and Bruce Willen of Double Dagger) builds to a crescendo as we drift through layers of slowly oozing raw honey crystals, before falling through a starscape of clarified honey.

Lone Wolf Survival Kit (USA)

9:30 PM

Director: Charles Ehrlinger

Jonathan lives alone, sealed away in his house with windows and walls covered in paper and plastic. His willful apocalyptic view keeps him locked inside with only a surveillance camera to connect him to the outside world. Isolated, until he witnesses a murder on his doorstep. Self-delusion and discovery begin a journey into love, dependency and rejection. This is an extraordinary film starring Cara Gee (Call of the Wild with Harrison Ford and The Expanse) and Richard de Klerk (Repeaters and Cole) together with cinematographer Barry Idoine (The Mandalorian) and score by the accomplished artist James Griffiths.

Winner - Best Editing - Charles Ehrlinger & Mark Myers
