202503 ten years of talkies short films

Join us in marking a decade of creativity and storytelling with Talkies Community Cinema!

Over the past ten years, we’ve proudly supported emerging filmmakers by commissioning unique and thought-provoking short films that reflect local stories, diverse voices, and artistic ingenuity. This milestone is a testament to the power of community and cinema, showcasing the incredible talent nurtured right here.

Step into a world of imagination and celebration as we revisit a selection of exceptional works that have left a lasting impression on audiences and filmmakers alike.

2015 “PLATFORM 1″ – JESSICA BISHOPP
Through the hatch of a café kiosk at the train station on platform 1, the film unearths the treasures of the everyday. People who make the early morning daily commute, half asleep and pensive, reveal personal stories, hopes and fears.

2018, “DEAR NEIGHBOURHOOD”

Derek faces a choice: confront a rule-breaker or risk lifelong regret—at least, according to the voice in his head.

2016 “A DATE WITH AN ENFIELD”
ADAM BUTCHER
Set in Bounds Green, “A Date With An Enfield” is a very personal animated short, exploring nostalgia and place in the digital age. What actually is an Enfield?
