Combining flights of fantasy and eerie, often sorrowful insights into the fragile nature of the mind, this selection of UK shorts treads the fine line between reality and imagination. A space travel adventure, a bereaved man struggling with his loss, a haunted cottage by the sea, a drunken puppeteer, a mysterious guest house and an ingenious reinvention of Little Red Riding Hood: here are some of the ingredients of a programme which will challenge your beliefs and subvert your expectations.
