14:00 ANI 2: FROM MOUNTAINS TO MAGGOTS! – ARNOLFINI A
This eclectic mix of films covers a spectrum of styles; from the strange to familiar and the sublime to obscure, each film tells a tale in strikingly different ways. Some will enrage whilst others delight.

12:15 FUTURE ENCOUNTERS WATERSHED C1 PANEL
Future Encounters is a showcase of 10 filmmakers whose work demonstrates a distinctive cinematic and/or artistic vision. We believe they are talent to look out for in the years ahead. During a special event on Thursday 19 Sept at 12:15, Peter Carlton (Warp Films) will lead a discussion with the creative teams, which all have work selected in competition, to find out who they are and where they are going next.
15:15 INT 4: CODES OF CONDUCT WATERSHED C3 IN COMPETITION
Laws, protocols and routines inform our everyday lives, giving us a sense of security and structure. An uncompromising youth court, a community stifled by an ancient code of retaliation, an insight into offbeat marital routines and a found-footage lecture on the holy trinity of modern capitalism provide the rich canvas of a programme navigating a world dictated by various sets of rules.
