The SHED: Curated by Moses Powers, for the first time in 2019, Shed is Shangri-La’s all-inclusive micro venue dedicated to intersectional positive masculinity. A place where visitors shed old notions, stereotypes and the restraints of masculinity at the door, entering into a space free of toxicity and worldly pressures. Especially for Lost Horizon, SHED presents a playlist of short and beautiful films exploring its themes.

THE CHATEAU present OTHER VOICES by SWEAT MOTHERSweat is an artist and filmmaker located in London.

It features the explosive energy of the activist group Transmissions, gives a taste of ‘every we wanted to be’ and the surreal genius of Lewis G Burton‘s Hermaphrodite.

107 HOURS: Theatre-maker, entertainer and performance artist Harry Clayton-Wright portrays a politically indifferent but glamorous teenager, Rebecca, who has locked herself in her bedroom – with her wild child friends – for the entire duration of the festival. The film chapters the anarchic revelry and immediate descent into chaos. It was described as ‘A drag Trainspotting meets David Blaine in a wig.’ by Gay Times.
