Becoming Plant
Director: Grace Ndiritu
Year: 2022
BECOMING PLANT follows six dancers who participate in a therapeutic group experiment with psychedelics, while temporarily ‘living’ together on the demilitarised industrial site. While they are subjected to the plant’s consciousness and to each other’s presence, they perform a choreography, aligning their naked bodies with each other and with the architectural ruins. The film serves as a catalyst to discuss wider social and relational issues such as science, spirituality, psychiatry, healing, healthcare and the problems of collective depression and trauma resulting from living in the age of Late Capitalism. Featuring a specially composed soundtrack by London based electronic musician and visual artist Gaika.
Dream Factory
Director: Alex Matraxia
Year: 2023
Dream Factory is an experimental erotic thriller, exploring the historical role of cinemas as cruising sites, as well as navigating queer and cinematic history through the lenses of nostalgia and fetish. Official Selection, Fantasia International Film Festival 2024
Katherine May Fannon (Falling in time)
Director: Helga Dorothea Fannon
Year: 2025
"Driven by a single photograph that seemed to hold pieces of myself and my sister, I began interviewing my father to uncover the life of his mother, Katherine May Fannon, and her roots in Liverpool. The image stirred something deep - I realised how much I wanted to know her, to feel connected across generations. Though my father lives in Sweden, we bridged the distance over Zoom, with only faded photos he shared as windows into her world. Through these stories, I hoped not only to understand her but to feel closer to him as well." This film was created during Stitch & Remix, a 3-day workshop by Renaissance Studios in collaboration with London's Screen Archives as part of the Undocumented project by London's Screen Archives and The New Black Film Collective. Seeking to address the lack of Black stories in London's moving image archives. This project, and workshops such as Stitch & Remix, are made possible through the support of the BFI, awarding National Lottery funding. Official Selection, Wysiwyg 2026
