Saw this as a preview @borderlinesff.bsky.social and it was one of the highlights for me. A beautiful, measured and humane film.

Waiting & Making - read my blog about trying to be creative when health/NHS waiting lists get in the way. Despite these difficulties, the animated short film I made, ‘I only dream of horses’, has been accepted for @borderlinesff.bsky.social Open Screen rebeccafarkas.blogspot.com/2026/02/wait...

Waiting & Making
During difficult times, creativity can ebb and flow: sometimes it’s the thing that keeps us going, and at others it becomes hard to hold onto.

@borderlinesff.bsky.social Watched ‘All That's Left of You’ the Courtyard Theatre this afternoon; what a beautiful and perfectly balanced film. Wonderful performance from even the youngest actors and I confess it left me watery eyed. 5*

The Love That Remains - really got swept away in this - some absolutely genius surreal moments (neither jarring nor twee) woven into the brutally real. Funny; painful; beautiful (oh, Iceland… 🩵). V lucky to have @borderlinesff.bsky.social film festival on our doorstep. #filmsky
