List of Events

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  9. 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.

  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.

  12. 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.

  13. 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!

  14. 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.

  15. 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.

  16. 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.

  17. 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.

  19. An elderly woman with white hair pulled back, wearing a floral sleeveless top, leans forward intently across a table toward a shirtless middle-aged man with long, wet, dark curly hair and a short beard. The two face each other in close proximity, suggesting a tense or intimate exchange. They are outdoors or in an open-air setting, with lush green trees visible in the soft-focus background. Warm, dappled natural light fills the scene.

A man with curly hair sits in the passenger seat facing away from the camera. In the foreground, a third person with their hair up is seen from behind, wearing a dark jacket. The car is parked near a field of dry golden grass.

  24. Two older men stand at the shore of a calm loch, their backs to the camera, facing each other in quiet conversation. The man on the left wears a mustard-yellow jacket; the man on the right wears an olive-green jacket and a grey flat cap. Misty hills and green treelines are visible across the water under an overcast sky.
