Showcase for short films by new directors.
A romantic comedy for Freudians everywhere.

Using Berlin as his starting point, writer and presenter Jonathan Meades goes in search of the architectural relics of the genocidal Third Reich, which was steeped in mysticism and pagan death cults. These include a model village for SS doctors, Himmler's Castle at a crossing of ley lines and a seaside Utopia for 20,000 of the master race. He shows that far from Nazi Germany having existed in a void, it left a regrettable architectural legacy for the rest of post-war Europe.
(There's another chance to see Further Abroad with Jonathan Meades starting on Thursday at 8.00pm)
