All Over Brazil - Dir. David Ward - 10mins It's the summer of 1974 and Scotland face Yugoslavia in the group stage of the football World Cup. But Stephen (Iain de Caestecker) seems more interested in the world of Glam Rock than football... Nightswimming - Dir. Dominic Leclerc - 14mins Runaways Luke (Harry Eden) and Ellen are caught breaking into a swimming facility as they only want a warm place to sleep. The watchman lets them stay on the proviso that they don't break anything, and so begins an emotionally charged situation between the trio. I Don t Care - Dir. Harry Wootliff - 25mins In the tumbleweed coastal retirement community of Porthpunnet, Luka (Iwan Rheon) cares for his bedridden mother. One day he meets Dan, a young man who lives in a camper van and shares his interest in art. Initially he sees Dan as a kindred spirit until Dan proves to be gay. Spring - Dir.Hong Khaou - 13mins A young man meets a stranger to indulge in a secret bout of S&M, an experience that will change his life forever. The Chef s Letter - Dir.

What You Looking At? - Dir. Faryal - 10mins Two very different people in the London borough of Lambeth - a drag queen (Michael Twaits) and a woman in a burka.

David Leon, Marcus McSweeney - 19mins A man (Eddie Marsan) invites a boy into his flat and offers to take pictures of him. To most this would seem suspicious in the extreme, to the few it is an innocent offer of friendship. Which way do you see it? Diana - Dir. Aleem Kahn - 11mins On the day after the Princess of Wales death Mohit, an Indian pre-op transsexual, goes on an emotional journey set against the backdrop of a day that shocked a nation.
