We had multitudes, dream dancing, envy, a time machine, human & alien children, a lack of polygons, a feral bathtub, sauciness, cigarette interventions, and existential POOB. A huge thanks to everyone who came and made the night special. Links to the films here: www.overlapsocial.com/post/septemb...

Josesph Wallace was our guest in May. We got to see Salvation Has No Name and the 6 years of work and collaboration that went into it. One of the things I love about Overlap is how everyone who shows their work is a peer. Mutual respect flying all over the shop.

May’s Overlappers. We had a fish with legs, Chris-based comedy, high dives, young and old, solace, loneliness, sea shanty pop, a lego epic, a Lynchian frog detective, Japanese cat-flu and xenophobia.

Joseph Wallace’s, Salvation Has No Name, is his most ambitious film to date. It explores xenophobia and the refugee crisis using a troupe of unreliable narrators. It was a Special Mention at Cannes and longlisted for a BIFA and BAFTA.
