About this event
Rosebud Dir. Xanthe Pajarillo 8.57 When a charismatic love advice podcaster and a bright-eyed sculptor share a night together, what begins as seduction unravels into obsession. Blurring the line between love and control, "Rosebud" is a darkly provocative horror-romance that explores intimacy, idolization, and the dangerous delusions we project on one another. Deck Of Many Horrors Dir. Sam Renew 18.25 A game master leads her fellow female adventurers through an online game of Dungeons & Dragons that goes horribly wrong and proves to be somewhat fatal. I Spy Dir. David Yorke 7.00 An innocent game of I Spy between Julie and Ethan turns into a nightmare when an unseen presence joins the game. Eat Me! Dir. Willow May Murray 8.44 Eat Me is inspired by the beloved “Alice in Wonderland” characters, with an eye to the disordered mind. We join Alice as she comes back from a dinner with her friends to enjoy a game of cards, but end up journeying with her down a drug-induced rabbit hole instead. Chaos ensues when Alice is confronted with her biggest fear: a cake. The Man That I Wave At Dir. Ben S Hyland 10.38 A man has an existential crisis trying to work out who the mysterious man is that he waves at. Runtime: 55 minutes Rating: (TBC) Forward Festival
