Sharmin is a young girl carrying a burden no child should face. After her father murders her mother, she must search for witnesses to testify in court under Islamic law, hoping to stop his ex*****on. Each conversation she initiates becomes a test of conscience, fear and loyalty.

Witness follows her through this moral crossroads with striking restraint and emotional clarity. It is a quiet but powerful story about survival and the weight of responsibility placed on someone far too young.

A dog is adopted. Or at least that is what the humans believe. The dog, however, is convinced he has been kidnapped. Through his eyes, the ordinary becomes a thrilling escape story filled with suspicion, confusion and canine misunderstanding.

Rescue is clever, energetic and full of charm. It flips a familiar scenario into something surprisingly heartfelt and funny.

On a bright Sunday morning, Isabelle sits on a café terrace waiting for her agent Johanne. Isabelle’s acting career has stalled, and Johanne might finally have a new role for her. The longer they talk, the sharper the tension becomes. Every glance, every pause and every shift in the café around them tightens the mood, turning a simple meeting into a quiet test of hope and ambition.

Beaupré’s life was extraordinary long before it became a legend. Standing at eight foot three, he travelled the world as a human spectacle, admired and misunderstood in equal measure. His story does not end with his death in 1904. Instead, his body is taken on a journey that continues for more than eighty years before finally returning home.

This documentary is a striking reflection on dignity, representation and the way a person can be transformed into a myth against their will. Beautifully told and deeply human, it lingers long after the credits.

Departure follows Hilda and Behzad on what should be a simple trip to a farewell party, but everything fractures the moment they learn their infant child needs urgent treatment they cannot afford. Hilda sees an impossible solution: sending their child abroad with Hasti and Saeed, who do not know the truth about the illness.

Behzad hesitates, torn between shame, love and the fear of being judged by his family. The tension between them builds until Hilda reveals she has already made the promise. What follows is a quiet, devastating negotiation between sacrifice and survival, dignity and desperation.

Levi is a writer and director whose work moves easily between queerness, sci-fi and emotional honesty. Based in southeast London, they create stories that travel far beyond their origins, reaching audiences from Toronto and LA to Hawaii and Korea. Their films have screened at Academy Award, BAFTA and Canadian Screen Award qualifying events, and their voice is becoming one of the most distinctive in emerging British cinema.

With a background in linguistics, curation and journalism, Levi blends precision, imagination and lived experience. Their upcoming feature projects, including the coming of age drama Recipes for Mica Halliday, already have support from the British Film Institute and Film London.

1 in 5 Sheep follows an artist determined to disappear into the herd while secretly longing to be seen. It is playful, curious and quietly reflective, exploring identity through something as simple and symbolic as wool.

Deadline brings stop motion into a world filled with sharp wit, heavy truths and two elderly women who refuse to be forgotten. As bureaucracy tightens around them, they respond not with fear but with friendship, humour and a quiet defiance that feels both moving and rebellious.

It is a black comedy about power, dignity and the small acts of loyalty that keep people standing when the world tries to shrink them. The cats help too.

Jim is out looking for his missing dog. At least, that is what he insists he is doing. As he wanders through the park, drifting from conversation to distraction, it becomes harder to tell whether the dog is real or simply a way to mask the loneliness he cannot name.

Lost Dog unfolds as a gentle and quietly funny portrait of someone craving connection but unable to reach out directly. It is warm, strange and unexpectedly tender, turning a simple search into something far more human.

See it at Short Collections Vol. 8 this 4 December at 6:15pm at . Which moment do you think will reveal the truth behind Jim’s journey?

At first glance, the space is beautiful. Almost dreamlike. The kind of room people imagine when they picture a life upgrade: wide, bright, untouched. But beauty can be a distraction, and Al Fresco quietly leans into that idea.

The film toys with the thin line between aspiration and denial, between the image we project and the reality we avoid. What begins as a simple walkthrough becomes a subtle study of longing, self-editing and the stories we tell ourselves when a place promises a new life.

It is witty, atmospheric and unexpectedly moving, the sort of short that lingers not because of what it shows, but because of what it hints at.
