The Cut by Georgia-Kate Heard
"The chicken, the egg or the test tube?" After a reproduction introduction in the waiting room of a fertility clinic, Jane and John come out with more than they had bargained for.

The Art of Letting Go by Matt Powell.
At the opening of Jamie's sell-out exhibition, an old flame makes a fiery entrance back into his life.

Cursed by Bigfoot by Andrew Todd
The Eskimos call him "Bushman"; the Colville Indians call him "Sasquatch"; the Hoopas call him "Oma". But right now, let's just call him "Bigfoot".

Responses by Sam Steeds
What makes us do the things we do? What makes us say the things we say? What makes us feel the things we feel? Combining text, sound and movement, the delicate pursuit for answers begins.

Directors: Dan Bain & Lisa Norriss
