Care - Four Seconds Flat - Other Life -

Five years after its original anthology, The Uncertain Kingdom returned to commissioning shorts. This time, filmmakers were asked to respond to the continued uncertainty of the times by reflecting on the theme ‘belief’.

Three filmmaking teams were awarded £20,000 each. The resulting films - Care, Four Seconds Flat and Other Life - were produced in 2024.
