Last night we went to see 10 short films at a film festival in Durham co-founded by our neighbour. We wrapped up in blankets and perched at the top of the hill which looked down at the screen. Bugs flying in front of the projector tricked me into thinking they were fireflies. I’m glad I brought tea because the evening felt more like September than August.

The evening’s program was called Swiss Shorts and it was a combination of animations and “video art”. I liked the animations best.
