For Shorts & Giggles

We've never pretended that our regular comedy programme offers anything remotely resembling curatorial balance or cohesion. This year's selection is another random grab-bag of assorted funnies, ranging from deadpan humour to surrealism to mild filth. Learn how a high octane spy thriller is made on the cheap, join the Grim Reaper on her first holiday in centuries or lie back, breathe in that sea air and sigh. A bench becomes a bureaucratic battleground, a mysterious bleep keeps a couple up at night and a sociable fellow becomes obsessed with a buried diamond. Prams are snatched, creatures are eaten and rules are broken.

All films captioned for d/Deaf viewers.
