A Royal College Of Art, London graduation short by Natasza Cetner inspired by the true story of Nigel, the lonely gannet of Mana Island who fell hopelessly in love with a concrete statue.
His tragic tale of idealisation and delusion shows us a reflection of our own misconceptions in love.
Mmf.
The fragile celestial love triangle of the Earth, Moon and Sun depicted in a rather gorgeous short by Eusong Lee.
Full screen recommended for maximum cosmic feels.

A pre-film Brown Thomas ad literally just got laughed out of the cinema. People openly howling in derision at it…
In fairness.
This warm-hearted ‘lifesized animated short’ by the fabulously handled Bexie Bush features the recollections of 83 year old widow Lyn Schofield of Southport, Merseyside.
Many of the objects featured are Lyn’s own, providing a further emotional connection with her disarming, revealing tales of love during wartime.
The School Of Life sez:
Love has many very dark sides. It is best to whisper them very quietly to ourselves – and those who are ready to listen.
