Avoiding Green Avoiding Green

Director: Phil Coy

Year: 2017

Channeling the medium of knitting through film, 'Avoiding Green' explores this ancient craft as an early form of digital construction. Combining archive footage, interviews and ‘depth camera’ animation it explores the symbolic role that knitting took in the definition of gender stereotypes from the mid 20th Century onward.

Facade Facade

Director: Phil Coy

Year: 2010

Façade re-transmits the flawed utopias and polarised theories suggested by Sergei Eisenstein’s unmade film 'The Glass House' into a fantastical vision of contemporary glass architecture far removed from its egalitarian origins. Narrated by Julia Somerville Façade casts 'glass' as a transparent subject rendered slowly opaque by the language it engenders.

Year: 2008

Language and property crumble in an exploration of the impact of coastal erosion on the people and landscape of North Norfolk. Concentrating on the small villages of Walcott and Cley next the Sea, the film combines interviews, field recordings and archive footage.
