UK Shorts: These Demented Lands (Captioned)
Part of the Shorts Strand
This selection of short films revels in the strangeness of these united(?) kingdoms, revealing the horrific nature of both their formation and continuance. Combining narratives that examine the racist legacy of British colonialism, the contemporary refugee crisis, the peculiarities of parochial village life and the genocidal bedrock from which these islands are hewn, this programme finds an abject poetry in the present moment that redefines and encapsulates what it means to be in the UK in 2022. [15] Jenny Clarke and Rohan Berry Crickmar
