List of Events

  1. Two middle-aged adults stand facing each other on a bridge over an Amsterdam canal, holding hands. The man wears a dark grey coat and scarf; the woman wears a teal coat with a plaid burgundy scarf. In the background, a historic clock tower rises above tree-lined canal banks flanked by traditional Dutch brick buildings, with boats and bicycles visible along the waterway.

  3. A woman with blonde hair (Jessie Buckley) lies unconscious on a flat surface, wearing a gold metallic top and a voluminous orange skirt. Metallic tubes and cables are attached to her torso, spreading outward like mechanical tendrils. Two large spherical devices flank her on either side. The background is filled with a tangle of wires and cables in a dimly lit, industrial setting. The image has a dramatic gothic aesthetic.

  4. A female performer stands centre stage on a brightly lit theatre stage, arms outstretched and smiling, wearing a blue and gold sequined flapper-style dress with gold floral embroidery and silver T-strap heels. The stage is lined with warm amber footlights. Behind her, a grand ornate opera house interior is projected as a backdrop, featuring gilded balconies, arched ceilings with painted murals, and warm glowing wall sconces.

  5. We see a man on horseback (Cillian Murphy) surrounded by a crowd in post-WWI Birmingham, with impressive period architecture in the background. The crowd reaches out to the man on horseback, whose clothes are muddy.

  6. A black and white photograph of a young man standing on a sandy beach, one hand resting on a wooden railing or structure. He wears an open, loose-fitting striped shirt over a vest and high-waisted trousers with a belt. His hair is slightly tousled. The sea with breaking waves is visible behind him, and the sky is hazy. The composition is framed by diagonal wooden beams in the foreground.

  7. We see a woman (actress Kim Novak) with platinum blonde hair swept up in an elegant updo, wearing a dark top and holding a sheer lavender/grey scarf. She has a cool, composed expression and is photographed against a dramatic cloudy sky, giving the image a moody, cinematic quality.

  9. A striking black-and-white film still. An older working man in a flat cap, braces and rolled-up sleeves is hauling multiple worn tyres and a battered metal bucket along a rural dirt track, fields stretching out behind him under a grey sky. He looks directly into the camera with a weathered, stoic expression — burdened but unbowed.

  10. A photograph of a female falconer with their bird. The image shows a woman in outdoor clothing (an olive green jacket and blue layers) holding what appears to be a goshawk or similar raptor perched on her gloved hand. The bird has distinctive blue-grey plumage on its back and a barred pattern on its chest. The setting is atmospheric – captured during golden hour with soft, warm light illuminating dry grasses in the background while darker vegetation creates depth. The falconer's gaze is directed away from the camera, suggesting a moment of focus or contemplation, perhaps scanning the landscape or watching for prey.

  11. Two young adults sit together on a wooden parquet floor in front of an ornate white fireplace, reading a letter or document. The male on the left wears a white t-shirt and has long dreadlocks; the female on the right leans on the man's shoulder, wearing a red tank top and denim skirt. The setting appears to be an elegant but bare room with decorative wallpaper.

  12. Two younger Japanese women in 1950s-style clothing face each other in profile against a bright blue sky with scattered clouds. The woman on the left wears a pale pink striped short-sleeve blouse and has dark curly hair with a decorative clip. The woman on the right has dark hair in an elegant updo and wears a soft pink short-sleeve dress with a patterned scarf tied loosely around her neck. Both women wear white gloves and rest their hands on a dark wooden railing

  13. A classic photo booth strip — the kind you'd find in an arcade or train station. The two shots are a contrast: one where the younger man and woman are pulling exaggerated, goofy expressions, and one where they've switched to completely deadpan, serious faces. The black and white format and the style of the clothing and hair suggest this is probably from the 1970s or early 1980s.

  14. The image is a striking black-and-white close-up portrait of a middle-aged Asian man. He's wearing a dark baseball cap and has a short beard. The lighting is dramatic and moody, with deep shadows emphasizing the texture of his face. His expression is intense and somewhat unsettled — eyes wide, mouth slightly open.

  15. We can see a lady in her twenties on stage holding a microphone, wearing a striking pink and black zebra-print jumpsuit. They have long auburn hair with hair clips, layered necklaces, and rings, and are gesturing expressively with one hand. The stage is lit with purple and blue lighting against a dark background.

  16. A colourful 3D animated scene showing a small, round-headed cartoon character with a tiny yellow cap and blue dungarees, clinging to the diagonal frame of a large orange and yellow pushchair or pram. The character peeks out with wide, curious eyes. The pushchair has bright pink wheels and sits against a vivid green grassy background.

  17. A grainy black-and-white photograph showing various protesters at what appears to be a demonstration or picket. The protesters are holding placards with slogans including "DOWN WITH UNION MANAGEMENT COALITION" and "FROM THE COTTON [FIELDS] TO THE [FACTORY]", protesting against conditions faced by Black workers in industry.

  18. We see a younger man and woman (both white) in what appears to be a vintage photograph, likely from the 1970s or 1980s based on the clothing and video quality. One person is wearing a plaid/tartan hat and colorful clothing, while the other is wearing a peaked cap/visor pulled down low over their face, a red scarf or neckerchief, a brown jacket, and a round badge/pin on their lapel. The image has the characteristic grainy, slightly washed-out look of VHS or early video footage.

  19. A charming animated illustration depicting a pétanque (boules) scene in what appears to be a sunny South of France setting. Three men are gathered around the metal balls on a dusty court — one crouching to inspect the positions of the boules, while the other two look on with expressions of concentration or mild dismay. The scene has a lovely film shoot backdrop: there's a movie light on a tripod, a sign in French reading "On tourne" (meaning "We're filming" or "Action!"), director's chairs, and orange parasols.

  20. Two men stand side by side at night on what appears to be a fishing vessel, both wearing wet, glistening yellow oilskin rain jackets. The man on the left wears a faded pink baseball cap and grips a heavy chain with a blue-gloved hand, his expression serious and focused. The man on the right, with close-cropped hair, stares wide-eyed into the distance with an expression of alarm or disbelief. Ropes, chains, and rigging are visible in the foreground and background, set against a pitch-black night sky.

  21. The image shows a man in his forties in a dark Victorian-style coat leaning over an elaborate, hexagonal console covered in various dials, switches, levers, and decorative elements. The console has labels visible including "HUMANIAN ERA," "EARTH," and "1999." Rising from the center is a tall cylindrical glass column. The atmospheric set is lit by candlelight in the background, giving it a warm, gothic feel — very much the interior of a TARDIS console room!

  22. We see two people posing together in front of a grey studio backdrop. On the left is a man with light brown hair and round glasses, wearing a light cream/white button-up shirt, smiling warmly. On the right is a woman with dark hair pulled back, wearing a dark navy/black top, also smiling. They appear relaxed and comfortable together.

  23. A black-and-white promotional photograph of two men (Laurel and Hardy) in suits and bow ties, each holding a bowler hat. The man on the left has wild, tousled hair and a mischievous grin, while the man on the right is larger, with slicked-back hair, a small moustache, and a broad smile. Both are posed facing the camera in a lighthearted, comedic manner.

  24. A black-and-white still from a silent-era film. A young man (Buster Keaton) with dark, curly hair and an intense, wide-eyed expression crouches low on the front cowcatcher of a large steam locomotive, gripping the metal frame with both hands. He wears a loose striped shirt and appears to be in a moment of high tension or peril, staring directly into the camera. The massive iron body of the train looms behind him.
