Competition Shorts: Programme Three
Description
Enjoy these 3 short films as part of the competition shorts for Belfast Film Festival.
Due to the nature and content of these programmes, this event is for those aged 18 and over.
The Painted Man
In a grey and lifeless suburb, The Painted Man appears. A street performer who never looks the same twice; his larger-than-life costumes and his entrancing performances capture the attention of quiet young George. The unexpected kinship that blossoms between them is strikingly depicted in this touching ode to outsiders.
Yara
A Syrian father and daughter find themselves in rural Ireland. Haunted by memories of the past the father descends into a paranoid spiral, sealing himself and his daughter off from the outside world. Prickly, anxious and heartbreaking, Yara is a nightmarish look into the refugee experience.
In Heat
A recovering sex addict on the verge of relapse is pulled into a surreal odyssey of his subconscious. With a stunning central performance from Ben Whishaw, In Heat renders the canyons of the mind through a beachy psychosis, using dance and movement to convey the protagonist’s deteriorating mind.
