Robinson in Ruins is an account of a journey by a wandering, erratic scholar, through landscapes in the south of England. Its fictional narration begins: 'When a man called Robinson was released from Edgcott open prison, he made his way to the nearest city, and looked for somewhere to haunt'.
Robinson ‘believed he could communicate with a network of non-human intelligences determined to preserve the possibility of life’s survival on the planet’ and ‘was equipped with an ancient ciné camera, with which he made images of his everyday surroundings’. He surveyed the centre of the island on which he was shipwrecked: 'The location,' he wrote, 'of a Great Malady, that I shall dispel, in the manner of Turner, by making picturesque views, on journeys to sites of scientific and historic interest.'
The film consists of these views. The cinematography began in January 2008 and continued until November, just after the peak of that year’s global banking crisis. The film’s unplanned journey ‘rediscovers’ several locations associated with capitalism’s development since the 16th century and resistance to it. Vanessa Redgrave’s narration includes references to the deepening economic crisis, climate change and mass-extinction, but manages to reach an optimistic conclusion.

Slow Action is a post-apocalyptic science fiction film which exists somewhere between documentary, ethnographic study and fiction.
Slow Action applies the idea of island biogeography - the study of how species and eco-systems evolve differently when isolated and surrounded by unsuitable habitat - to a conception of the Earth in the distant future, when the sea level has risen to absurd heights, forming new isolated archipelagos. Accounts from a great library of Utopias are read by two voices.
Six teenage friends, Matt, Cindy, Kirsty, Duncan, Sitcom and Dawn set off on a camping trip in the forest. However ‘Camp Happy Dreams’ turns out to be ‘Camp Nightmare’ - as legend states it’s the site of a presumed historic murder.

The King sends his three best knights from the battlefield on a quest to find a stone that would save their lands. The knights travel under ground, descending into darkness. Without their knowledge their souls are separated from their bodies. They search for the legend, but their ignorance doesn’t last long, when the souls of all who went before them are looking for a body of their own so they can get out of the tunnels.
The knights are now trapped themselves, their bodies slowly weakening as they become possessed. Regardless of their predicament they press on and come to a ritual chamber where they find the stone and learn that the creators of the tunnels are imprisoned in the water contained in the chamber.
They release one of the creators' beast who by instinct wants to recover the stone - and it kills one of the knights. Putting their grief and anger aside, the two knights, using the stone, trick the beast and imprison him.
Finding their way back to the entrance, another knight has followed them down into the tunnels to deliver bad news about life on the surface. There is no escape now.
