local water mill to a beautiful country kitchen where Ren Behan adds all the ingredients to create a delicious
cake creation.
THE GUEST - DIR. KIRA DE HEMMER JEPPESON - In Scandinavia the act of surrogacy is surrounded by
much taboo and stigmatization. Placed in a legal grey area, it is a secretive act rarely seen and spoken about

SKIN - DIR. JANINA VILSMAIER - Thanks to a colorful host of characters from different backgrounds, Skin
discovers reasons and stories behind different types of tattoos.
PETER & BEN - DIR. PINNY GRYLLS - Peter and Ben is a touching and quirky story of how two “blacksheep”
form an unusual and enduring bond.
MY KOSHER SHIFTS - DIR. IRIS ZAKI - In North London there’s a small orthodox Jewish hotel. The
personal cross-cultural documentary captures, in a quirky humorous way, the conservative Jewish orthodox
world.
LAMPWORT - DIR. ALEX PARKYN-SMITH - An early awakening leads to a mysterious trip across the moors
before a rather novel outdoor pursuit is revealed.
NEWTON FAULKNER - DIR. BEN ROPER - On tour from the Beautiful Days festival in Devon to both
V-Festivals in one weekend.
PARKOUR IN ST ALBANS - DIR. BEN ROPER - Local Parkour Athletes, doing their thing. Parkour is
a method of training that can help someone to overcome any obstacle in their life, be it social, physical or
mental, by first teaching them to overcome physical obstacles with movement. This style of “free jumping”
began in France in the 1970s and has since spread across the world.
MAYBE BANGLADESH - FEATURE DOCUMENTARY
VENUE: THE MALTINGS | TIME: 12:00
MAYBE BANGLADESH ... these words, spoken by a
Nepalese cook in Bavaria (Germany), set the ball
rolling. What we get is a trip of imaginative dimensions.
Erich, a musician with itchy feet, wants to track an
unlabelled cassette back to where it originated.
All because of a haunting voice singing of Govinda. But
then, it’s a sound Erich can’t get out of his head. Will
Erich find his singer? Is there a divine plan at work in
the background? And just who is Govinda?
WITH ANIMATION & AMAZING LIVE ACCORDION MUSIC
& LOTS OF FUN FOR ALL AGES!
