Filtered by the film's length and ordered by deadline; every row carries the date we checked it and where. The film is public here, so the ones that want a premiere are marked. The festival plan says how to run the year.

The scorecard

A suburban house and a face stretched into a smeared, manic blur, no synopsis or transcript to say why.

2.7of 5
  • Storynot read

    Not read: no synopsis and no transcript, so no want, no turn, no ending to point at.

  • Pictureworks

    The motion-blur effect on the face is a deliberate choice, sustained across frames, against a calmer bedroom and street shot, but all four images are static.

  • Wordsnot read

    Not read: no transcript, so the words were not seen.

  • Worldgetting there

    A suburban house front and a plain bedroom read as ordinary UK domestic space; little else shown to build the world further.

  • Voiceworks

    The repeated distorted, grinning face across three of four frames suggests a specific unsettling choice, but without context it reads as effect rather than meaning.

I read four static frames and the title only; there was no synopsis and no caption transcript, so story, words, and most of world and voice rest on the images alone. Read 2 November 2026. How the scorecard works
