List of Events

  1. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. 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!

  12. A portrait photograph of artist Frida Kahlo - dark braided hair adorned with a large red flower, elaborate pearl and gold drop earrings, bold red lipstick, and prominent natural eyebrows. The photo has a rich crimson/burgundy background.

We see a heavily stylized image of an older Black man (David Harewood), a younger white woman with blonde hair (Caitlin Fitzgerald) and a balding older white man (Toby Jones) standing next to each other, all wearing black and all looking in different directions. The rest of the image is almost enturely red, with a yellow line of light shining horizontally across the eyes of each of the peopl.

  14. A young man in a patchwork satin jacket and plaid shorts sits leaning against a weathered green dresser, gazing up adoringly at a young woman with long blonde hair who perches on top of the dresser in a teal and rust period costume. A vintage lantern glows on a small table behind them, against a warm golden-brown backdrop suggestive of a rural Irish setting.

  16. A male filmmaker in his fifties with thinning grey hair stands outdoors on a rocky coastal location, gazing upward thoughtfully. He holds a professional Canon video camera with a large telephoto lens and a windscreen-covered directional microphone mounted on top. He wears a black blazer over a dark v-neck sweater and white t-shirt. In the background, a seafront promenade with palm trees and white buildings stretches along the shoreline under an overcast sky.

  17. The image shows two elegantly dressed figures in Regency or Victorian-era costumes, photographed from above while lying among scattered handwritten letters and papers. The styling suggests a romantic narrative, with both wearing formal period attire and jewelry including pearl necklaces. The man wears a white formal suit while the woman wears what appears to be an evening gown with elaborate jewelry.
