A poetic memoir and political report, shot in Berlin and Leipzig, and in landscapes around the British Isles. The film’s narrative builds out from the events of the Reichstag Fire in Berlin in 1933 in which the pioneering German-Jewish sound recordist, Ludwig Koch, on whom the film ultimately centres, plays a minor role, placing him and his family in danger. The film is structured in two parts, juxtaposing Koch’s persecution in Nazi Germany with his experiences as a refugee recording bird song and other sounds in Britain.
The film’s images of contemporary urban and rural terrains, and of objects and documents, create a collision between past and present. Shifts in time are further emphasised through the use of Koch’s original sound recordings from Germany and Britain which feature throughout the film.

One of the defining musicians of his generation, Patrick Wolf first found fame in noughties London. Shapeshifting between avant-garde artist and queer popstar, he was a maverick of his time. All until 2012, when his life fell spectacularly to pieces and music became a painful memory.
A decade of silence followed which saw Patrick confront immense addiction battles making him creatively incapable of finishing a song, ultimately leading him to escape the city that had both shaped and shattered him.
HOWLS TO THE HARBOUR finds Patrick in his newfound home on the East coast of Kent, four years into recovery and beginning work on his first album in over thirteen years – all from his garden recording studio, surrounded by instruments, relics from his past and cats Ronnie and Percy.

Doctor Wokozi asks the same question each time she meets Professor Seva. She has done it seven times already and this is her last chance. Despite the experimental success of Time-travel in 2060, developed with the help of Quantex Ai, humans cannot withstand more than eight jumps and Spacetime entanglement is unstable. Each trip that she takes is fraught with danger and uncertainty.
Equipped with a special pair of goggles, Doctor Wokozi has located Professor Seva's space-time coordinates in 2030. He lives alone with his plants, in an abandoned building - a decommissioned London hydroponic station. Each of her previous visits has been unsuccessful in convincing the reclusive genius to give up life in his current timeline and join her to save the world. She is now becoming desperate to finally transfer his consciousness into a storage device, so that she may bring him back to 2060, where his expertise on plants behaviour could help restore the biosphere and rescue humanity from extinction.
THAT TIME IS NOW invites us to reflect on what makes us human, when facing the perils of an ecological collapse, through the themes of consciousness, steadfastness, and selflessness.
