In a tender dialogue between the filmmaker, her acrobat partner, and her deceased mother, “Still, Moving” examines life in the wake of death as time ticks by, through the existential musings of a clown in a long-distance relationship. This experimental and intimate film threads together voice notes, journal entries and conversations of the filmmaker, Tash, and her partner, Ange, in an attempt to make sense of their dreams, fears and the major life events that occur whilst on tour: the idea of motherhood after losing a mother, a birthday, an injury. Filmed in East London, across the Netherlands and Latvia, the film explores togetherness when apart and exists, in itself, as an artefact of the relationship.

In 2015, Christopher Nolan curated a selection of short films by the surrealist animators the Quay Brothers to be distributed as a touring 35mm presentation. The three films—"In Absentia" (2000), "The Comb" (1991) and "Street of Crocodiles" (1986)—were accompanied by this brief portrait of the brothers at work in their London studio.

Tala, a London-based Palestinian, is preparing for her elaborate Middle Eastern wedding when she meets Leyla, a young British Indian woman who is dating her best friend. Spirited Christian Tala and shy Muslim Leyla could not be more different from each other, but the attraction is immediate and goes deeper than friendship. But Tala is not ready to accept the implications of the choice her heart has made for her and escapes back to Jordan, while Leyla tries to move on with her new-found life, to the shock of her tradition-loving parents. As Tala's wedding day approaches, simmering tensions come to boiling point and the pressure mounts for Tala to be true to herself.
