We are very pleased to share that Micha Colombo’s Micro Short Film, commissioned by Exeter Phoenix and premiered at the 2024 Two Short Nights Film Festival, ‘I Want This’ has been selected for Women X Film Festival in Darlington this September. The film tells the story of an overwhelmed mother, lost within her daily life until a midnight moment in nature helps her to find clarity. Last year, Micha said “The whole project has been a series of firsts for me: pitching an idea, gathering a team, organising a shoot, shaping the edit. It's been life-affirming.” Check out the Women X Film Festival programme via https://lnkd.in/egZwsmps We also look forward to seeing the premiere of Micha’s Devon Short Film Commission: ‘Abigail’s an activist now’ at Two Short Nights Film Festival 2025.

Last week we had the pleasure of premiering two commissions as part of our ongoing Phoenix Archive Project. The evening included a debut screening of Xenia Glen and Antosh Wojcik’s new film and a performance of new music from Holly Ebony - both pieces created in response to the rescued 16mm film from the project. Thank you Xenia, Antosh and Holly for your incredible work, to the National Lottery Fund and The Radcliffe Trust for making this project possible and to everyone who join us on the night. We also look forward to welcoming Antosh Wojcik back in August as part of the annual Spork! Summer Special. Make sure to check out the full line-up at https://lnkd.in/gcmHtspr
