Kneel Through The Dark
Director: James Batley
Year: 2013
An exploration of the mystical subconscious rituals that govern our lives and bind us or drive us apart. As constant and as intangible as the seasons of the earth; that ebb and flow like the tide; that nourish like a mother and torment like an unseen demon
The Last Tree
Director: James Hosken, Katie Eggleston, Lauren Fitzpatrick, Mimi Harmer
Year: 2025
An interactive stationary VR experience that invites quiet reflection on nature, slowness, and change. It offers a moment to sit, observe, and influence the atmosphere in a peaceful, dreamlike virtual world. The experience places the audience on a hilltop, looking across at a lone tree gently swaying in the breeze on another hill. The audience can move their hands gently to influence the wind. The seasons cycle over the course of ten minutes, the visual and audio aesthetics shifting with the changes. The piece emerged from thinking about how nature changes quietly around us, often unnoticed. We invite the audience to consider how small gestures and moments connect us to the world’s larger cycles, and how ephemeral and fragile those cycles are.
The Recce
Director: Daniel Mann
Year: 2026
Drawing on a location test filmed in Uganda and an email exchange with the scout, this short film captures cinema’s ties to land and its entanglement with colonial imaginaries, binding the fiction of filmmaking with state-building. Official Selection Berlin International Film Festival 2026 - Forum Expanded - World premiere
