Episode 4
Jordan Stephens presents more of the best creative short films on television, from music to animation, dance, spoken word and anything visually random in between. Shot at night in an almost completely unpopulated Basildon town centre, this episode opens with an extraordinary music video directed by Kim Laughton for Danny L Harle's track Without You, inspired by the morning after a night before. Plus: a paranormal dark comedy from Fred Rowson, inspired by an American woman who believed her toaster was haunted in 1984. Jessica Bishopp's beautiful quasi-documentary ponders the issue of life extension and what it might be like to live well into a second century, by speaking to scientists, anthropologists and members of the public. Magical, minimal animated short All in the Mind explores humans' impact on nature and was created by Eden Koetting and her father Andrew. And Danni Spooner's dance piece Fag! challenges preconceptions around gender identity.
