Laitue
Director: Nicholas Brooks
Year: 2010
Laitue is a hand drawn film, tracing a brief journey from loss to a reunion of an unexpected kind. Two people are separated by time and space but nevertheless coincide in a series of movements which form a choreography of anticipation and unrest.
Transit of the Megaliths
Director: Nicholas Brooks
Year: 2013
In 1934 while on a road trip, British painter Paul Nash placed several small geometric objects onto a car roof to photograph them. Invoking the nomadic inclination of idealised form, Transit of the Megaliths provides a road trip for a set of fragments derived from paintings of the 1920s-40s.
The Rift
Director: Janire Najera and Matt Wright
Year: 2025
A fulldome dance film set amidst the rich and varied landscapes of Zimbabwe, where performers express the tension, resilience and interconnectedness between people and the natural world under the pressures of climate change. With their movements, the dancers explore the consequences of environmental disruption and the profound ways in which people and nature are intertwined. Through abstract choreography, symbolic imagery and an atmospheric score, the work reflects the planet’s vulnerability, the challenges posed by environmental shifts and the transformative potential of collective effort. As the dancers navigate these ever-changing locations, their movements evoke the escalating consequences of a warming world, capturing both its fragility and the urgent call for action.
