We Are Guided is a selection of Scottish short films exploring myths, histories, and the way that these things can either haunt us or connect us (or both).
In UFO, the first film in the selection, Miles and Stanley are reunited with their father after 15 years apart when they stumble across a group of ‘UFO monks’. Their father claims to have been abducted by aliens and has been living with the cult ever since. The film veers skillfully between fun absurdity, surreality, and touching sincerity as it explores what it means to be a family.
