Don’t miss BFI NETWORK short Giants (2024) at Aesthetica.

Directed by Andy Berriman, written by Alex Oates, and produced by Dermot O'Dempsey, the film follows Sandy, an isolated teenager drifting through his post-industrial town in search of scrap. His aimless routine takes a turn when he meets Don, a conspiracy theorist who gives him a dangerous new mission - to destroy a local wind farm.

Please note, whilst our roundtable at Aesthetica is free to book onto, any other sessions will require a valid festival pass. View the full programme here.
