Sent Away by Rosa Fisher

"Boarding schools can rip children out of their secure, loving homes and deposit them into a cold, unloving institution. ‘Sent Away’ looks at the psychological implications that this can have on children and in particular the effect it had on my father, Tom.
The film explores themes of masculinity, and also speculates how the cultural practice of sending children to boarding school has politically shaped the UK.

Tomorrow’s On Fire by Oh Yeah Wow

Created in direct response to the Australian Bushfire crisis, Darcy Prendergast's new film #TomorrowsOnFire is a rallying cry for hope, in a country increasingly scarce of it.

Lyrics:
I’m angered, incensed, enraged and fed up.
With you lazy, ignorant fossil fool chumps

You’ve sold out our nation, and served up division
Whilst it’s grief stricken people, scream at deaf politicians

And it’s not just the humans— our animals fry
While you coal hearted arsonists, continue to thrive.

On our future you wager, without heed nor concern
Just misinformation, while our backyards burn

You elected officials hold aloft lumps of coal,
With the pride of an Olympian, who’s just won gold

From up high on ye’ podium, you silence dissenters
What we’ve come to expect, from you bald one percenters

You should be disgraced, and thrown headfirst from office.
Do not pass go, do not stock mining coffers.

Instead you drive narratives, of left vs right,
Whilst you all fear, what the middle just might.

So rally together, love strong and rage stronger
So that life on this planet, can last some time longer.

Tomorrow’s on fire, and the sky it bleeds crimson.
So it’s about time, we made our tax dollars listen.
