- Every meal tells a story. A meal can bring us home when we're away, or transport us to new places with every bite. Visit the kitchen, the supermarket and the restaurant with Richard and Sherry, as they reflect on the food cultures of China and the UK. It's a chance, as Sherry says, to see a different world - Based on interviews with current students at the University of Liverpool, eJoy of Cooking explores traditions, memories and experiences, all centred around food. From Stargazy pie to strawberry spaghetti, the film, which blends animation and live action and borrows its title from eJoy Asian Foods on Myrtle Parade, is a vivid celebration of food and its wonders, which draws us into the social lives of contemporary students in Liverpool, and how they see (and smell, and taste) the city.
- Sidelong Glance reimagine celebrated readings given by Mary E. Webb, the African American actor, in Liverpool in 1857.
- Hey Joe is set in the mid-1990s and takes us on a journey through the history and experiences of Liverpool 8 since World War 2. This verbatim piece is based on an interview with a community activist and fundraiser, and takes place beside the memorial to Black Merchant Seamen in Falkner Square Gardens which he campaigned for.
- Inspired by a Liverpool Irish Famine Trail memorial plaque on Mulberry Street, which marks the resting place of 2600 people, this film is almost entirely wordless. In a unique gathering, the 26 participants in 2600 - who include members of the university, and of the wider community in the city and Irish networks in Liverpool and across the North West - each perform a silent act of remembrance at the site of what was once a paupers' grave, now covered by student accommodation. There are many stories of individual experiences, and great personal tragedies, among the Irish community which grew rapidly in Liverpool in the years of and immediately after the Great Famine of the 1840s. But faced with a site that was the resting place of so many, recovering a single story as 'representative' did not seem appropriate. In 2600, therefore, the filmmakers strive to ensure that all are remembered.
