A Posthumous document.
The silent personal archive of deceased filmmaker Terra Miller is laid out against all that remains of one of Miller’s final pieces, an acerbic audio recording of Isabella Berretta, founder of organisation The Fire Brigade. The youngest member of this organisation, Terra’s brother Jaric, whose movements appear to cross time and space in the archive, becomes the physical narrator to Berretta’s vocal presence, at times in synergy, at others in conflict with each other.
THE SEPARATION LINE exposes a British border shared by hundreds of civilians and members of the Armed Forces. Between 2007 and 2011 the small English market town of Wootton Bassett became the site for the British repatriation ceremonies and during an eighteen-month period between February 2010 and August 2011 all the repatriation ceremonies that passed through the town from 2010 to 2011, including the concluding ceremony in August 2011 were filmed. Filming alternative aspects and perspectives to that of documentaries and regular media coverage, the work shares an experience of the repatriations that has not been presented nationally or internationally.
A woman recalls her sexual experiences that have brought her to this point in being, from disappointing sexual encounters in later life to her early childhood and the neglect she suspected her mother of. We are brought into her world of reminiscence and realisation.
On Landguard Point is a film about home created by Suffolk raised Robert Pacitti - founder of the award winning SPILL Festival of Performance and maker and curator of performance art for over 20 years - with original music by Michael Nyman.
Set entirely in the East of England and built through poetry, performance and slips of story. Woven together these forms accumulate ideas around what home means. The film is about trade: what it means to produce and export, or import from elsewhere. It is also then a film about migration, identity and defence. These themes underpin every element of the film and offer up multiple layers of resonance and meaning.
The film is carried by two other voices. The first, our narrator, initially sets the scene before falling into his own poetic visions and daydream. The second is a family of scrolling red LED text boxes, stood in the sea and beginning: HERE IS A MAP…
On Landguard Point features work by internationally acclaimed artists such as Julia Bardsley, Rajni Shah, Kira O’Reilly, Harminder Judge and Mark Peter Wright.
Three mythical stories from the island nation of Vanuatu, South Pacific, concerning the origin of humans, why pigs walk on all fours, and why a volcano sits where it does.
‘It is only shallow people who do not judge by appearances’ wrote Oscar Wilde. LAY BARE is a composite portrait of the body, revealing it as it is only rarely seen in the most intimate relationships we have with our family or lovers - erotic and comic, beautiful and vulnerable.
Swandown is a travelogue and odyssey of Olympian ambition. A poetic film-diary about encounter and culture. It is also an endurance test and pedal-marathon. Andrew Kötting (the filmmaker) and Iain Sinclair (the writer) pedal a plastic swan-shaped pedalo from the seaside in Hastings to Hackney in East London, via the English inland waterways. This action may, in part be seen as an act of ‘dada performance’ or as a response to the spirit of Olympic diversity and ambition. The journey and all that it entails is documented on both film and video and presented as a 90-minute feature length experimental documentary.
"I always thought I had a perfect memory. I wanted to show these drawings to you."
A collection of memories, drawings and loss. These images do not exist anymore but the drawing is real. The memory is only in my head.
Water, sunlight, breathing and skin – this is a submersion into the joy of sea swimming by night and by day.
A series of moving portraits and interviews held exclusively in the sea off the coast of Hastings in the South East.
Dave McKean presents The Gospel of Us, the film adaptation of the ground-breaking theatre event starring Michael Sheen. Taking inspiration from one of the defining narratives of our times, this contemporary re-telling of The Passion took place across the town, with the people of Port Talbot as its cast, crew and heroes.
Easter. Port Talbot is in a battle for its life. Authoritarian forces have taken over and the town is in thrall to ICU, a sinister and merciless corporation depleting the town of its resources with scant regard for the residents. The atmosphere is explosive. Resistance is inevitable.
When a company representative and suicide bomber clash on the beach, catastrophe is only averted by the intervention a softly spoken man who had disappeared 40 days earlier. Revealed later as the Teacher (Michael Sheen), he attracts followers and becomes a focus for the Resistance. His influence quickly draws the attention of ICU, who perceive him as a danger who must be removed at all costs…
