The Finishing Line

In this surrealist short, John Krish and Michael Gilmour tell a perilous tale at the railway station. Mind the gap - this is going to get scary.

Instructional film/TV programme 1977 21 mins

Overview

When a schoolboy's day-dream of a fantasy sports day includes events where acts of vandalism and trespass are required, dire consequences ensue. Originally created as an educational film, this somewhat surrealist short has a serious message at its core. This won't be a lesson you'll forget in a hurry.

This title is also available on the DVD/Blu-ray 'Captured' in the BFI Flipside collection.
