Cally Trench's films are very short (micro or super short) animation films. Most have Cally's own drawings or linocut prints as their starting point, while some use sequences of her photographs. Cally's recent films have natural or mechanical sound that she creates herself using vocalisations, clapping, toys, and musical instruments. Cally is constantly amazed and delighted by the simple fact that if images fly past our eyes fast enough we perceive movement.

Cally Trench's films have been screened at film festivals and screenings in the UK - in Bath, Birkenhead, Birmingham, Brighton, Cardiff, Clapham, Farnham, High Wycombe, Huddersfield, Hull, Leicester, Lewes, London, Oxford, Ramsgate, Reading, Rugby, Sheerness, Sheffield, Stockton-on-Tees, Sunderland, Walthamstow, Washington (Tyne & Wear), and Wolverhampton. Her films have also been screened in Australia, Canada, Finland, and the USA (in Arlington MA, Brooklyn NYC, Buffalo NY, Chicago, Newark NJ, Queens NYC, San Francisco, West Newton MA, and Whitinsville MA), and in online festivals. The films have also been shown at exhibitions.

Cally is delighted that composer Josh Hagley wrote music specially for some of her earlier films in 2016-17. See Josh Hagley's website and a page about Josh Hagley on this website.
