Short film package: Tilted Axis

This selection of shorts is told with something of a shifted and skewed perspective, exploring alternative realities with a twisted lens. The dinner party in Jerry Carlsson’s Shadow Animals goes from slightly strange to all-out bizarre when the guests partake in the most peculiar after-dinner rituals, while Réka Bucsi’s animated cosmic odyssey Solar Walk melts the mind whilst exploring space, and Kerren Lumer-Klabbers’ A Stone Slowly Falls takes an unconventional look at depression. Perfect for those who lean towards the offbeat.
