It screened in six cinemas across the UK in front of a variety of age-appropriate movies and will TX again on BBC Two this week on October 30 and November 1.

The under-the-radar project from the acclaimed director is now on BBC iPlayer.

Rose Garnett, director of BBC Films, who commissioned the project, commented: “The opportunity to invite a visionary filmmaker like Jonathan Glazer to create a piece that could really demonstrate the power of short-form filmmaking and bring urgent work to audiences in surprising ways was too good to miss.”

As we revealed this week, Glazer is gearing up on a new feature with A24. The project is a Holocaust drama and will shoot in Poland next year.
