The works in this programme demonstrate the humour that often arises when we play together—and when we don’t abide by the rules. From spontaneous encounters with people in the streets, to shopping excursions across a board game supermarket; from frantic relays staged in the education system, to dinosaur skirmishes set in prehistoric 1917, the films presented here indulge in the fun of games and other cooperative/competitive exercises. Playing along with these exercises can be a source of amusement as well as social insight. And sometimes we’re reminded that one person’s beach is another person’s hell.
