If the event is sold out you can try the returns queue at the ICA Box Office on the day of the event. We will release any uncollected guest tickets just after start of each event.

A series of new short films by some of online video platform TOPSAFE’s favourite directors, including Frank Lebon's debut short film, Lead, a prison drama directed by Calum MacDiarmid and starring People Just Do Nothing’s MC Grindah, and a new documentary by emerging director Hector Dockrill and his accomplished cinematographer Deepa Keshvala. Also screening are music videos, short fiction and documentary films by TOPSAFE TV contributors Duncan Loudon, Tallulah Hood, Dan Emmerson and Joseph Bird.

The films are followed by a panel discussion with Hector Dockrill and Deepa Keshvala about their new short documentary Boys From Hell set in Oldham, and Frank Lebon about his move into scripted fiction work.
