ORIGIN Late Middle English; via Latin from Greek metamorphōsis, from metamorphoun meaning to transform, change shape. Welcome Index Welcome to The Smalls 11th annual 1 Metamorphosis Film Festival. 3 Festival Staff Back in 2006, a group of short film Aesthetica 4 Festival Venue enthusiasts joined forces with the London Design Festival and Creative Review to 5 Festival Judges produce an event that was both a celebration of and innovation in short film. 7 Prizes for Winning Filmmakers The ground-breaking Small Films for Small 9 Festival Programme Screens was the first event of its kind to showcase short films on video iPods. 19 Shortlisted Films It was also where The Smalls story began… 31 Programme Overview With Small Films for Small Screens a far-reaching success across the board of film supporters, filmmakers and the industry, The Smalls yearly Film Festival was born and The Smalls company founded. 11 years forward and hot on the wheels of 2015’s celebration of a decade in the making, this year’s six-day event boasts a noteworthy line-up of talent, talks, panel discussions, workshops and, of course, remarkable short films from The Smalls community of filmmakers across the globe! Aiming to develop, nourish and support TM a tight community of film lovers, makers and experts, we hope that what you see on screen and on stage will evoke inspiration, whether you attend one event, or the entire programme. To continue making The Smalls Film THESMALLS Festival the best we can, we want to hear from you.

THE SMALLS FILM FESTIVAL TEAM Awakening in a dreary morning haze, it seemed as though something had changed. The light appeared different, smells contained aromas never identified prior, textures felt remarkably more vivid, but most importantly the sense of self had shifted, warped, evolved into a stage unknown. Although compelling and surprising in its graphic depiction of a Metamorphosis young boy metamorphosing into a creature alive in the reader’s imagination, Franz Kafka’s infamous short story is indeed a The theme of this year’s festival is ‘metamorphosis’, signifying the classic tale. essential role it plays in cinema and at the same time celebrating the transformation The Smalls has undergone this past year with rapid Evolving, adapting, growing and transforming is inherent to our expansion and soon launching with a fresh new look and website. character as creative beings. It is the epicentre of our race, to forever be in motion, to take risks and challenge our very nature in the infinite strive to master what we do. It is those who embrace change and continuously evolve that ultimately inspire us. The Smalls as an ever growing company and The Smalls Film Festival are here to celebrate just that. 1 2 Festival Staff Kate Tancred CO-FOUNDER & MANAGING DIRECTOR [email protected] So much of our life is centred around virtual communication and exchange. Creating a place that brings together our community, every year, in a physical sense is an exciting aspect of the festival for me. The theme of metamorphosis is an interesting choice, especially as I’ve observed and been a part of the development of the members in the community and The Smalls as a company. It’s an exciting prospect to be able to overlook the forward moving transformation of the filmmakers that we support and the medium we celebrate. David Pugh-Jones COMMERCIAL & BRAND STRATEGY DIRECTOR [email protected] With this being my first year as part of The Smalls I’m incredibly excited to see the diverse breadth of talented filmmakers’ work during the festival. This array of talent enables us to share and drive a seismic change in the way that film work is crafted, sourced and produced with outstanding results. The film festival is uniquely primed to meet the industry’s insatiable demand for award-winning and authentically produced content. Kate Fagan HEAD OF PRODUCTION [email protected] This year The Smalls has been making some of its most exciting content to date. We travelled to Rajasthan to create a documentary on an ancient step well, went to New York with Vodafone, back to Madrid to create a short profile doc for Boots, and were on hand to cover the best moments from the 2016 Rio Olympics for Deliveroo. As the festival symbolises yet another year passing, we’re looking forward to the year ahead with some exciting projects on the horizon including the launch of our new site and a big campaign for a major film release. Best of luck to all the finalists! Aleks Dimitrijevic FESTIVAL PRODUCER Festival Venue [email protected] Hackney House Joining The Smalls festival in its 11th cycle has been an exciting challenge.

Extraordinary human stories, iconic historical moments, premium documentaries and essential entertainment remain some of our key priorities.

The new landmark series 1000 Years brings together some of the most talented UK producers to chart the extraordinary rise of six countries that have profoundly shaped our world.

    07.09 — 10.09 CALVERT 22, E2 7JP SPONSORS / WELCOME / Emerging in 2006 as a passion project amongst creative enthusiasts to commemorate ‘Small Films for Small Screens’ and flour- ishing into an anticipated annual celebration of shorts, we are proudly back for our thirteenth year. As the brainchild of The Smalls company, an international community of 17,000+ filmmakers, our show-stopping film festival admires all matter of diverse and innovative creative mediums across the globe. After the triumph of last year’s “Dimensions of Diversity” theme – high- lighting the essential need for diversity in our collective future – we turn our attention in 2018 to the necessary fight for gender equality. In light of recent times, industry discussion is fixated on the importance of equal rights and here at The Smalls, we are no different. With an equal workforce of men and women, we are utilising our platform to ad- dress pressing matters regarding women’s roles: how can we guarantee women’s voices are being heard, both on our screens and in the film community? The fight begins with honouring their work. “Fighting for 50/50 in Film” introduces a brand new category dedicated to this sole purpose, as we’re intent on creating equal reign in the creative industry. Nurturing and acknowledging those who may previously have been ignored is where the journey begins. With a celebratory screening for each creative contribution followed by a lively Q&A discussion that will be taking place at the Barbican, our event will provide opportunity to discover the creativity and drive behind each visual essay.
