“ISO is a short film about diabetes”
"ISO is a short film about diabetes— showing one of my near-daily routines that seems dull and repetitive to me, yet weird and unordinary to others un-touched by type 1 diabetes. The term “iso” is known as a prefix meaning equal- I see it as a nod to this process being my regular despite it not being the equal or same as others’. “ISO” can also be read as “in search of”…consider this piece a posting “in search of” belonging and of people who share similar challenges. I have found that many times our differences and struggles can isolate us, but I have also found that it is these differences that draw us closest together when we find individuals who share similar ones." - Samuel Letnik

Ten Minutes Older is a 2002 film project consisting of two compilation feature films entitled The Trumpet and The Cello. The project was conceived by the producer Nicolas McClintock as a reflection on the theme of time at the turn of the Millennium. Fifteen celebrated film-makers were invited to create their own vision of what time means in ten minutes of film.

A drama-documentary presented by Alan Yentob, with Benedict Cumberbatch in the lead role. Every word spoken by the actors in this film is sourced from the letters that Van Gogh sent to his younger brother Theo, and of those around him. What emerges is a complex portrait of a sophisticated, civilised and yet tormented man.
