Here Comes The Sun: Environment (Shorts Block with Filmmaker Q&A)

📍 Saturday 24th October 2026| 12:00PM | Bradford Arts Centre

From beekeeping and spiders to wild landscapes, growing flowers and forests that seem to remember, this thoughtful collection of shorts explores the strange and enduring connections between people and the natural world. Across animation, documentary and drama, these films find beauty in the everyday while reflecting on identity, family, memory and our changing environment. Expect intimate stories, playful imagination and a few unexpected creepy-crawlies along the way.

Landslide: Parenthood (Shorts Block with Filmmaker Q&A)

📍Friday 23rd October 2026 | 4:30PM | Bradford Arts Centre

From the grief of childlessness to the overwhelming realities of new motherhood, this deeply moving collection of shorts explores the complicated bonds between parents and children. Across stories of dementia, estrangement, abuse and unconditional love, these films ask what it means to care for someone - and what happens when love, loss and identity collide. Tender, raw and at times unsettling, these are stories about the ties that bind us, even when they threaten to break.

Films in this block:
⭐️ Reborning | reborning_short_film
⭐️ Floodgate | Sioda Adams/Earth-bound
⭐️ While It Lasts | Paul Romero Méndez Katie Sheridan Limbo Pictures
⭐️ Through The Eyes of Bairns | Through The Eyes Of Bairns - Short Film
⭐️ The Summer’s Gone
