Introducing the first film Final Frame supported as part of the 2025 cohort: Olly Ginelli’s powerful short ‘The Long Spring’. Fresh from its world premiere at the renowned Santa Barbara Film Festival, we’re excited to share the trailer here.
The film was inspired by Ginelli’s time volunteering at the Dunkirk refugee camp in France, when he met and became close friends with a Kurdish man, Saady, who was forced to flee the territorial control of ISIS with just the clothes on his back in 2015.
Synopsis: Arron has taken his younger sister Kika on a journey to a better life, but his youthful optimism may have overlooked one of the darkest possibilities on the planet.
The film was graded by OkayStudio’s colourist Fraser Twitchett.
