"Pollphail" has been selected in-competition to Go Short: International Short Film Festival Nijmegen, Netherlands, and the 4th Flatpack Film Festival UK.

Directed by Matthew Lloyd and produced by Carina Wilson, creative documentary "Pollphail" unravels a unique and unsettling story of the imagined future of a village-in-limbo, built to great acclaim during the 1970s oil boom but never inhabited...
