List of Events

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

  13. 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.

  14. 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.

  15. 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!

  16. 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.

  17. 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.

  18. An animated character wearing a bright red jumpsuit and sunglasses aims a large firearm with a determined, gritted-teeth expression. The background shows a grey, rubble-strewn environment with cracked walls and industrial elements, suggesting a post-apocalyptic or battle-damaged setting. The art style is detailed hand-drawn animation typical of late 1980s Japanese anime.

  20. 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.

  21. 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.

  23. 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.

  24. 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.
