    Liitle Dogs by Frantic Assembley and NTW

    Little Dogs is inspired by the Dylan Thomas story Just Like Little Dogs, and the furtive hours so many of us have spent searching for kindness and warmth in the shadows of the city.

    Across the city, hearts are beating and the mating ritual has begun. In the nightclubs, the bus shelters, the back streets and the sand dunes, daring girls and reckless boys engage in a desperate dance while the less fortunate observe and pretend it doesn't hurt.

    Lovesong by Frantic Assembly

    Lovesong intertwines a couple in their 20s with the same man and woman a lifetime later. Their past and present selves collide in this haunting and beautiful tale of togetherness. All relationships have their ups and downs; the optimism of youth becomes the wisdom of experience.

    Love is a leap of faith.
