Alex Farren Gill – BUÍ (Short Film)

This year we were delighted to screen the second of Alex’s short films submitted to the festival, after his 2022 debut ‘Knock, Knock’. This year’s submission written and directed by Farren, was an altogether more epic affair in both its running time and ambition, garnered using a mix of live action, time lapse and drone footage. We look forward with anticipation to Alex’s next project.
