Carmarthen Bay Film Festival 2022

Weeds aren't just weeds. They're like friends. During the first Covid-19 wave, plants and flowers are allowed to grow wild.

Allowed

A man in a room, in a film – it is the becoming of something and simultaneously becoming in itself. Nothing is as solid as we believe. The film explores our perception of time and change, bodies and objects, and our inability to comprehend the full motion of things.

Any Instant Whatever

Arrows, starring Geoff Bell is a film about finding faith in oneself. It’s a tale of life; the highs and the lows. But most of all, It’s a film about…Darts.

ARROWS

A Story of Water: The crucial life sustaining resource, squandered, depleted, and a scarcity for many. Yet, in a climate veering from flood to drought, ignorance and denial of the implications for catastrophic human conflict and natural loss ominously persists.

Before A Truth

Liang Jing, a woman who works in the city, returns to the village where her parents live. Her mother orders her to consult an old fortuneteller for finding marriage. Although Liang is hesitant to obey her mother, she goes to the woman’s place one night. During the meeting, Liang's reality starts to intertwine with her past. Under the guidance of the fortuneteller, Liang’s life starts to change.

Circular Ruins

In this wordless, experimental film, a powerful goddess meets her match.

The Coronation

Meet Davy. The things he sees. His streets, His mates, His girl and...The Boys. Pumping techno, pulverising movement and street-sharp poetry, East Belfast Boy is a cliché-free zone.

East Belfast Boy

Holy Slut, a young graffiti woman who was sexually abused at the age of 13, wanders alone through the locked-down streets of Albi, feverishly scribbling fragments of her story on walls around the city as she attempts to disentangle the knotted threads of her existence and free herself from a past that weighs heavily on her present.

HOLY SLUT

It is a project that started with a single sentence, "Hope is being able to see that is light despite all of the darkness." It is a work with the message that one day we will see the light again if we do not lose hope in the confusion of and darkness.

HOPE

As darkness falls on the deep eve of Antarctic Mid-winter, there’s a break-in at the museum store. Artefacts are not ransacked but rearranged. This is a guerilla action - a poetic provocation. It marks the 200th anniversary of the ice continent‘s discovery - and its perilous state. A tipping point, the result of our human actions - our human estate. By protecting Antarctica we can restore the natural balance of the whole planet Sir David Attenborough

I S O S T A S Y

In a story of unrequited love, we find Libby on the seam between desire and reality. Drifting as she navigates the shifting shoreline between these embattled landscapes, she closes a circle with Yuli.

Libby's shores

“The life we live is a series of illusions… a fleeting smile… mistaken decisions… dangerous, unpredictable… yet, we will meet again, as lovers… parents… children… and you will know who I am…” Tasos Sagris’s poem, with its haunting soundtrack by Whodoes, offers us an extended exploration of lives lived in parallel, at cross-purposes, in and out of love, around the world, from the innocence of children to the wisdom of elders. There are the good times when summer seems to last forever, and the bad, when persecution and misadventure could land us in prison, with nothing but rain to hear our voice. But what is the reality? What is mere illusion? Can there be more to life than simply living?

The Life We Live Is Not Life Itself

Inside of a dark and continuously changing world, we follow a young man desperately trying to light their inner fire. Doubt, insecurities, and external forces interfere with the flame.

LIGHT

Two young sisters travel alone for a beauty pageant, their fraught relationship is tested. Miss Nothing is an intimate and tender portrait of sisterhood—inspired by true stories often forgotten behind extravagant shows.

Miss Nothing

A bilingual French-English music video inspired by classic French disco and world cinema from Hong Kong to Manila to New York— a non-linear narrative drives the film's plot as it paints the artists within an imaginative, hallucinatory vignette of love and betrayal.

PÉCHO

Set in a colourless megalopolis, 'Phosphene' follows the story of a young woman on her journey to regain her internal creativity and independence. By approaching true-to-life themes such as mental health, creative blocks, and the repetitive nature of quotidian living; viewers will watch as the protagonist reclaims her light, with a little help from a new friend.

Phosphene

A frantic young woman struggles against an unforgiving inner voice that battles against all logic, rhyme or reason... Compelling her to endure a physical, mental journey that takes her right to the very edge.

SHE

"I see them and look them away ... see stinger-ray hide in bush ... climb for a better view ... afraid of spider-snake-lizard ... we watched them watched us ... "
An after-image is the residual image you see if you look away having stared at a brightly lit scene. It is a negative of the original and gradually fades away... something like a ghost.

A.WAY

The blue candle of the title is a metaphor for Earth, with the flame representing the fragility of humanity resting on the planet. The best thing to do with a candle flame in danger of blowing out is to use it to light another while there is still time. Hopefully the flickering flame of humanity will burn bright through the universe before it can no longer burn on Earth.

The Blue Candle

Entre Les Images

"this time, this place... beyond open circulation closed reciprocity... closed hydration spheres wrought cast smithed... this is what we are what we eat ... "

Iron is the most common metal on earth. Indeed, it forms much of the molten core of the planet which in turn generates the earth’s magnetic poles. The red soils of the world are due to iron. At a biochemical level, iron is essential for human life, amongst other things, making our blood red. In the societal domain, iron is essential for manufacturing, electricity generation, and much more. Certain bacteria can derive energy for life directly from dissolved iron compounds (“rust”) rather than from oxygen as we do. Perhaps, at some time in the future, we, our descendants, the Ferrovores, may need to do the same.

The Ferrovores

Fata Morgana is a spirit of water that creates a mirage. A mirage is a phenomenon in which an object is visible in the air due to the reflection of light, which is a faint scene bordering on the existence and perception.
