Event Type 2: Virtual Event

This exclusive Fisheye selection is an online-only event and consists of the following three feature films:

EÎDÒN (Simone Bardi | Italy)

From the depths of memory, a mysterious voice recounts the triumphs and growing shadows of the Po Delta, where a balance has been broken, perhaps forever. Amidst the mists of the past and the uncertainties of the present, the ecological resilience of a family of fishermen from the Sacca di Scardovari is revealed. The voice confesses to a decades-long deafness to the cries of the earth, and now the home is at risk of collapse. In the limbo of this cruel time, is it possible to rediscover harmony? The film invites viewers to lose themselves in the gaze of the Delta, to decipher its mysteries, and to question humanity’s fragile place in this treasure trove of life.

BIG CITY PIZZA (Dusty Saunders | USA)

As tension rises in the big city for the Omniball Championship, Boney, a skeleton pizza delivery man starts his shift. Animated entirely from Boney’s POV in one continuous, unbroken take, we follow his delivery route where every stop is weirder than the last.

PANTRUM (Nadie Wasalamudaliarachchi | Sri Lanka)

In a nation scarred by war and silence, a former child soldier reunites with his estranged, PTSD-ridden father. As they confront their shared trauma, the voices of the forgotten rise against a corrupt.

Welcome to the Festival 2026 Launch! Celebrate the launch of Fisheye International Film Festival this year, and enjoy the opening night films; an animation short and a feature.

Come join us at the BRUNEL ENGINE SHED as we kick off our exciting 2026 festival. Get ready for an evening with friends ; enjoy a welcome drink from 7.00pm and from 7.40pm, on the big screen, watch films which celebrate ALL THAT WE ARE – the journey to acceptance.

The films are:

• FILKOOL – A short animation about a big, different creature that doesn’t fit into his house
• TELL ME WHAT FOOT YOU’RE DANCING ON – This French documentary is an imaginatively presented journey to the heart of a rehabilitation service for amputees. Combining testimonies, dance and poetry, the film explores the way in which each person questions the desire to get moving again. It strikes a common chord with our local paralympic heritage and the outlook of the festival. We are honoured to be screening the UK Premiere of this film.

Check your calendars and get ready to enjoy a memorable evening which we hope will leave you feeling inspired. See you there!

The actions of an unknown hero in WWII enable families to reclaim the ashes of lost loved ones.

The film is part of a screening entitled A LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS.

POPEL: Ashes : Oier Plaza: 2025 : Czechia, France, Spain

Driven by a passion for history and the weight of an absence, a professor, and the relative of a deportee who disappeared during World War II begin an investigation across Europe to uncover his fate. From the Basque Country to Prague, what begins as a personal quest soon leads to an extraordinary discovery: the story of František Suchý and his son, who, defying the Nazi regime and risking their own lives, managed to preserve the names and ashes of more than 2,200 victims. Among them, the long lost remains of that deportee, whose trace was erased eighty years ago.

Prior to the feature film, we have chosen LE GOÛT DU CIEL an entrancing short musical animation in which a curious firefly invites us to join a mysterious figure in the clouds and embark on an imaginary celestial journey.
