British Showcase + Introduction

At Barbican Cinema 1

Silk St, EC2Y 8DS

"Pixar meets Euphoria" (on Amoeba)
"Inside Out but with single-celled organisms...and ketamine"
Cinema 1 hides down a few flights of stairs

Ten bold animated shorts take the pulse of contemporary Britain, from a trans girl's eyeliner heist to an emo romance on the Yorkshire moors. The filmmakers stick around to introduce their work.

Friday, November 27, 9:00 PM
