Synopsis

Petty rivalries and huge egos clash as Smokescreen, possibly the greatest Rock & Roll band of the 70’s reform for one last Album and tour.
Trapped in an underground recording studio simmering tensions boil over with fatal results and dark humour.
Described as Agatha Christie meets Spinal Tap, the dysfunctional group of musicians struggle to make peace, and music.

A dog in a crudely made fox costume is sat being fed by a yellow marigold glove on the end of a wooden pole. A Skulk in London

Director: Polina Chizhova, James Stephen Wright

Year: 2018

The work “A Skulk in London” explores the human projections onto animal life from a satirical perspective. Its aim is research the life of urban foxes amid the Anthropocene environment of central London and the mythologies surrounding them to highlight the human tendency of understanding and perpetually interpreting the natural world limited by the point of view of “man”. The main character is a city man who becomes fascinated with finding nature in the city and is following urban foxes to fulfil his dream of wilderness. The character lives in a world of fantasy and does not consider the perspective and agency of urban wildlife. His obsession is so blinding and absorbing that he doesn’t realise that the fox he finds is, in fact, a dog in a costume.
