Cornish Shorts

The four films were commissioned through FylmK, a project by Screen Cornwall and Cornwall Council, as a way to support increased use of the Cornish language (Kernewek). All four have since won awards at film festivals. The short dramas, which have English subtitles, were written and produced by Cornish film makers and writers. They cover a range of themes including a night out in Penzance, family friction in Porthleven, and a time-travelling alien in Goonhilly.
