CAF: Shorts 4 - Home/Sick (adv 15)

Thu 7 & Sun 10 April 2022

81' | adv 15 | F-Rated

Hello, old friend. Cure that Home/Sick feeling and reunite with us for a programme steeped in nostalgia and hiraeth*. These 10 shorts will have us travelling through the past, present and future to consider what home means to us, what we would do to protect it, and what our home itself might be longing for. We invite you to cwtch up with cherished memories from childhood and remember faces and places that have changed dramatically over the years. Make yourself at home.

*Hiraeth (noun; Welsh): A deep homesickness, an intense form of longing or nostalgia for a place long gone, or even an unaccountable homesickness for a place you have never visited.
