Love Is Blind

Nominated for the Palme d'Or for Best Short Film at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival. Nominated for Best British Short at the British Independent Film Awards. 5 award wins including Best Narrative Short at the Santa Fe Independent Film Festival, the Jury Award at Shnit Worldwide Shortfilm Festival, Best Short at the Emden-Norderney Film Festival, the Grand Prize at Fenêtres Sur Courts, and the Audience Award at the São Paulo International Short Film Festival. Alice is in the passionate embrace of her young lover — she has finally, guiltily, succumbed to temptation. Then her husband James comes home early, carrying his own guilty conscience and a bouquet of olive branches. What follows is six minutes of brilliantly choreographed bedroom farce, as Alice simultaneously tries to manage her husband's unexpected emotional honesty, hide her lover's presence, and navigate the emotional minefield that three people with complicated consciences can create in a very small house. Written and directed by Dan Hodgson, Love is Blind is a sharp, warm, and furiously funny British short comedy that earned a Cannes Shorts Competition selection and critical acclaim for its first-class physical comedy and deceptively precise character work.
