Our ‘Best of the Month’ picks for April sees the S/W team select three films focused on characters at defining moments in their lives. A trio of shorts high on impact and memorability, in this 33-minute playlist you can expect innovative storytelling, touching drama and a little scale model nudity.

Mike Forshaw delivers one of the most emotive shorts we’ve experienced in sometime with Saturday, a powerful piece of fiction based around the worst sporting disaster in British history. Paul Trillo (returning to Short of the Week for an impressive fifth time) serves up another inventive slice of filmmaking with his 10-min single-take drone-shot short At The End of the Cul-de-sac. And last but not least, directorial duo Carolina Markowicz and Fernanda Salloum charm the pants off us with their humorous existential comedy told entirely with scale model figures Tatuapé Mahal Tower.
