Writer, filmmaker and cult comedian Eric Wareheim showcases the world's best creative short films from the channel's Random Acts strand. The shorts cover avant garde visual art, music video, eye-popping animation, contemporary dance, spoken word and all points inbetween and Eric guides us through them in a slightly unhinged mode pitched somewhere between The Late Show and Garry Shandling. In the final episode of the series Eric Wareheim showcases a music video premiere for James Righton's new project, Shock Machine, directed by Simon Amstell. Artist, David Blandy takes us on a techno-trip through his ideas via an Apple-Mac taskbar. We have a new art film for Frieze by Xavier Cha and Charlie Lyne is in the studio to present his homage to classic movies in a dark masterpiece.

Yellowjackets

Yellowjackets follows a girls' high school soccer team. In 1975, the Dearborn High Yellowjackets became the first team in state history to qualify for the Girls' U.S. Soccer Championship Series in Manchester, NH. They never got the chance to compete. Equal parts survival epic, horror story and pitch black coming of age, Yellowjackets tells the story of the (un)lucky survivors of a plane crash deep in the Ontario wilderness, chronicling their descent from a friendly, cooperative team to warring, cannibalistic clans. At the same time, it follows the lives they've attempted to piece back together nearly twenty-five years later, proving that the past is never really past and what began out in the wilderness is far from over.
