Random Acts: Season 2, Episode 6

2 - 6: Episode 6

Jordan Stephens presents more of the best creative short films on television. Noah Harris and Andy Biddle's stop-motion animation Salvation repurposes an eclectic array of charity shop finds to explore the nature of evolution. Set in an old people's home, Edwin Mingard's dreamy aerial dance piece Flying/Falling features octogenarian dancers conquering time and space. Jack Scott's super-8 film Jam! takes the concept of food porn to a beyond-logical conclusion. Plus: Riz Ahmed's video for the track Zayn Malik, performed by Riz's rap group side project Swet Shop Boys. The Game, a machine-gun dialogue penned by and starring Random Acts' very own Jordan Stephens and directed by Michael Middleton-Downer, questions the idea that to win at life we should treat it as a game. Finally, in a wonderful animation by Nicolas Menard, one man's quest to find God becomes entangled with an unexpected romance.
