AMPLIFY!
FilmBath might be off for the time being (rescheduled for 11-16 December), but its associated event, the AMPLIFY! online film festival is still available for frustrated film buffs. Choose from a selection of features and shorts to get your teeth into this lockdown, including: LOS LOBOS A vital narrative of immigrant experience, this endearing piece sees two young brothers reinvent themselves as The Wolves (Los Lobos) to pass the time in their tiny apartment they stay in alone when their mother is working. MY MEXICAN BRETZEL This remarkable film is comprised of found footage taken in the years of World War II. It follows the glamorous Leon and Vivian Barrett as they travel around the world. The entire film is punctuated with text from Vivian’s diaries.
THE INNOCENCE Teenage Lis dreams of running away to the circus. Meanwhile, her kind but ill-equipped parents are unable to meet her needs and desires as she barrels towards adulthood. TO BE CONTINUED TBC tells the unusual story of Dick Perceval through a series of short films. Using his diaries, discovered in a pile of rubbish, the films employ voice, sound design and archive film to narrate the story of his life in mid-20th century England. Online; prices vary, with a selection of free and ticketed films. www.amplifyfilm.org.uk
