Last time at Chapter MovieMaker: short-term loners

Originally inspired by the recent glut of movies based on comic strips, this month's intro film had somehow mutated into a Grange Hill tribute by the night of the screening. With that out of the way, Claire Sturges unveiled the full trailer for her film The Audition after last month's tease. Next came Syrius, from the sci-fi superteam of Rhiannon Tate, Ben Sawin, James Haskin, Gafyn Holt, Martin Izzard and Steven Brown. We saw wild things in the woods during The Day I Lost My Voice, a music video for Sweet Baboo by Ryan Owen, which preceded Dig, a short drama excavated from the personal archives of director Ioan Thomas. International Man of Mystery Malcolm Boorer's latest travelogue came to us from the Brazilian city of Recife - where will he go next? Ryan Owen returned from training with Undegpedwar, a track(ing shot) by Y Niwl. The audience were then treated to a tantalising glimpse of Woyzeck, an epic undertaking by Ip Wischin and the students of IfIF International Film School Vienna. After a musical portrait of Ivan Moult from On-Par Productions came the unsettling Score, scripted by MovieMaker's own Simon Howells and executed by the Unrelated Films team. Leyla Pope smuggled in some gangster fashion with Crooks Like Us, before the ever-prolific Ryan Owen provided a natural end to the evening with Jonny's You Was Me. It had horses in it.
