2. Diomysus
Emily Morus-Jones, 2022, UK, 5 min

The award-winning film interviews people from the British polyamory community, using puppets to hide the interviewees’ identities and allowing them to be safely honest and open about their experiences. Through these interviews, the film asks the viewer: how conscious is your bias?

“I wanted to use this opportunity to give a more honest, positive, insider’s account of polyamory, which is often trivialised or sensationalised on film despite the fact that it is most certainly on the rise in the UK”, Emily explains.
