Directed by Oscar-nominated Andrew Chesworth (One Small Step), The Brave Locomotive is described by the filmmaker as an “Old West musical tale with 1940s flair, [in which] a fearless little train and his engineer confront obsolescence as bigger, faster, and more automated machines take center stage.”
Chesworth’s credits include Frozen, Zootopia, Moana, Big Hero 6 and Wreck-It Ralph.

Written and directed by Stephen Ong, who describes his short film as “the brief memoirs of a high-rise tower block, finding it’s way in the big city.”
Here’s how director Laurène Fernandez describes her award-winning short film:
“Locked up in their own apartments, some neighbors tell the camera about the little troubles of life in a community. Little by little, when everything piles up, it’s enough to drive one mad.”
Dying for Beginners is a short film which guides the viewer on a step by step journey through the process of dying.
It is voiced by Dr. Kathryn Mannix, a former palliative care physician who has spent her medical career working with people who have incurable, advanced illnesses.
Directed and designed by Emily Downe.
