straight 8 dares filmmakers to create a mini epic in one take, creating original soundtracks 'blind' and seeing their film for the first time together with the audience at its packed premiere.
Random Acts has showcased these three films from straight 8's class of 2016, as judged by a stellar panel: Asif Kapadia, Ed Lachman, Pegah Farahmand, Hamish Moseley and chair of the jury, Jason Solomons.
Featuring Paul Walkingshaw's spooky tale 'Clowns', Roger Batteault's calming ode to nature 'Splendor in the grass...' and Jack Scott's provocative take on food porn 'Jam!', these films are sure to delight, terrify, and possibly ignite a fiery passion for jam.
