The Residue of a Relationship | 14:50

The Residue of a Relationship is a short film that looks at the leftovers of love and tries to piece together what it all means. It follows a real-world love story from its inception through to a conclusion in a thoroughly modern tale of romance in the 21st century. The Residue of a Relationship is a funny and heartwarming tale about the lessons we learn from the things that people leave behind.


Brett Chapman | Director

Brett Chapman is a filmmaker based in the north of England. Obsessed with the romance of cinema from an early age his work seeks to toe the line between life imitating art and art borrowing from life.

He's now developing his own projects with his new short film, The Residue of a Relationship - the first such project to truly represent his voice and point of view.

Alzheimer's: A Love Story | 16:24

Alzheimer’s is a chronic neurodegenerative disease that accounts for roughly 60 to 80 percent of dementia cases. It is caused by the death or malfunction of nerve cells in the brain, and results in eventual deterioration of memory, behavior, and basic bodily functions. Those diagnosed with the disease live an average of 8 years after their symptoms first become noticeable- it’s been 12 years for Greg. He lives at a memory care facility in Chicago and can no longer walk, go to the bathroom independently, or feed himself without assistance, let alone carry on a conversation. Every day a man named Michael comes and visits for a couple hours. No one can say for sure if Gregory knows who Michael is or why he comes every day, but it seems he does. From Michael’s point of view it’s only natural that he do so - after all, Michael has loved Greg since the day they met 40 years ago. Gregory began his next adventure, peacefully, on the other side of life as we know it seven months after this documentary was completed. Gregory passed on 10/04/15. 7 months after the documentary was filmed.

Homerun | 15:00

Dear Tom | 3:15

Sometimes, fate is like a small sandstorm that keeps changing direction, even two parallel lines could possibly meet one day. You only stopped for a moment, and when you turn around, it's gone... I met a girl a year ago. We dated for 3 months and I filmed our private moments together. One day I woke up and she was gone, leaving a goodbye note on my fridge. I called her and asked to send me a recording of the letter narrated with her voice so I could make a small film with our small moments. What you see is our real story.

David Sánchez-Tembleque Valiño | Director Filmmaker and photographer in Zara, Inditex



Battle of the Brides | 13:30

After a Bridezilla steals his wedding venue, a meek groom must win a one-of-a-kind wedding gown to appease his overbearing fiancée.
