September
“A short film from England by Esther May Campbell, September, is a poetic look at growing up with a young man who works at a fast food restaurant located beside a highway. Beautifully shot in an enigmatic and poetic style, it’s subtle and magical. It’s a perfect example of how a short film can create a world that takes us away and provides perspective on how people are. It was definitely my favourite short film of the festival and I kept thinking about it for days.”

“… Apparently made for £3,000, Welsford’s well-mounted debut delivers ambiguity in spades – perhaps too many spades. Yet there’s something about the expressive leads’ plight, the foreboding atmosphere generated by Zac Nicholson’s impressive cinematography and Mat Davidson’s fine score, that makes this often confusing thriller well worth the endurance.” - Time Out
