REVFF26: GET YOUR SHORTS ON: CITY OF VINCENT FILM PROJECT & LIFE IN PICTURES

Revelation is dedicated to the acknowledgement, encouragement and support of the local screen sector. It’s behind local screen artists by not just showing their films but actively assisting in getting them made… and here they are!

The City of Vincent Film Project provides early-career filmmakers with the opportunity, support and funding to create short non-fiction works that showcase local stories, characters and urban legends from across Vincent. Tonight’s line-up includes two films from the 2026 initiative, alongside one of our favourite local shorts from 2026.

Also screening are the five finalists from three categories of the Life in Pictures Filmmaking Competition, followed by the awards presentation and glittering closing night party.

In a Sentimental Mood
Saskia Glass (Director/Writer), Aron Attiwell (Producer)

A sanctuary for anyone seeking connection through sound, a place where music becomes colour and instruments feel intimate. In a Sentimental Mood documents the Ellington Jazz Club through a journey of synaesthesia, visually capturing the magic of experiencing live music up close and the vital role small venues play in our community.

To Be Proud
Jasmine Formato (Director/Writer), Theresa Roberts (Producer)

To Be Proud is a heartfelt exploration of Irish culture in the City of Vincent, weaving together stories of connection, homesickness, humour and pride to reveal how community becomes a vital anchor for those living far from home.

A number of years ago, the City of Vincent Film Project commissioned the hugely successful documentary Pacing the Pool. Screening at more than 100 film festivals internationally and earning a host of awards, its success took everyone by surprise. This year, we’re spotlighting the newest work from the team behind that film with the sensational animated short Trading Cards.

An enigmatic man journeys back in time to find his younger self, seemingly to revisit the nostalgia of trading cards. An exploration of identity, mental health and the erosion of childhood innocence, Trading Cards is a dark fantasy animated film about the weight of living with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
