Anyone else been feeling a little cooped-up? A little stagnant? A little like the walls are closing in? Are you fed up with that same routine, day in, day out? Getting a little tired of your housemates, or your kids?

➤ EFN has created an incredible line up of award-winning short films that explore people feeling...

"BOTTLED-UP"!

➤ Films that capture the sense of feeling trapped and claustrophobic. That could mean people literally locked in a single location, but it could be broader than that, it could be a feeling of being trapped in a relationship, it could be the feeling of isolation or being trapped in your own head.

🔥 *AND THERE’S CHANGES!!*🔥

- The Critic's Choice Award 🏆 - given to the film that wows our panel of experts! They’ll also provide feedback on the night. Three incredible female
