A one-off evening of unsettling and darkly clever short films.
CineBooth returns for our second Short Collections Halloween Special at The ArtHouse, after a year of screenings across London and even hosting the 2025 Oscar-nominated Animated Shorts. This time the screen belongs to seven stories of creeping unease: from the fragile memories of Zoe to the fractured marriage of Homecoming, from the childhood terrors of An Artist’s Curse to a man confronting his own double in Absolve Yourself. The night closes with the darkly comic rivalry of La Grogne, the tense woodland ordeal of The White Rabbit and the wry, macabre encounter in Gone Fishin’.
Part One
Zoe – 16 min – The last shreds of a young woman’s mind cling to the comfort of better days.
Homecoming – 12 min – A wife’s fragile hope collapses when her husband returns from war scarred inside and out.
An Artist’s Curse – 10 min – Childhood nightmares return to haunt a mother whose own child may be part of the horror.
Absolve Yourself – 6 min – A traveller wakes on a train to face a version of himself who demands a reckoning.
Part Two
La Grogne – 10 min – A child fights for her father’s affection while the family dog proves a fearsome rival.
The White Rabbit – 20 min – After a fall in the woods, a runner is dragged to a stranger’s cabin where help may not be what it seems.
Gone Fishin’ – 15 min – A man stumbles across a suicide and a stack of half-finished farewell notes.
Seven shorts, one Halloween night and plenty of lingering chills.
There will be a 15 minute interval between Part One and Part Two and following the screenings, there will be networking in the bar.
