The final day of Bitesize Film Fest bursts with bold storytelling, biting humour, and emotional depth. Opening with Push, a hilariously raw take on impending motherhood, the day sets a tone of honesty and irreverence. Comedic highlights include P is for Penis, a pub-set confession gone wildly off-script, Heterogeneity, a clash of worldviews in a parked car, and the outrageous Four Diamonds and a Funeral, where a heist meets hilarity. Horror chills arrive with The Unfinished Game, a haunting tale of guilt and ghostly revenge. Animations like Peckasso, Till Death Us Do Part, and If You Meet A Coyote add poignancy and whimsy, while dramas such as Now That You’re Back, Under the Glitter, and The Steak (an award-winning standout) explore grief, identity, and fractured relationships. The day closes with the visually striking The King of Forks (France), a surreal desert odyssey of transformation and fate. Day 3 is a fitting finale: strange, funny, and deeply human.
