Ghosts of Solid Air

Synopsis

GHOSTS OF SOLID AIR is an experiential Augmented Reality (AR) story that you do on your phone - Voices guide you on a journey from Trafalgar Square to the Houses of Parliament. As you move, you encounter a ghost world layered right on top of us all the time - shadows who shimmer in and out vision, haunting the streets and whispering messages into the air. These are people from across time who were radicalised through personal experience and forced into disobedient action.
Obey those in charge at your peril, they say. Speak up! And you will be heard. Through an encounter with those who have been pushed beyond their tipping point - this experience asks: where does disobedience come from? And is it for love or rage that we break peace with the conditions of now? Walk with the ghosts - and decide for yourself.

An audio cassette tape, with the title 'Childrens Tape for Sue', being repaired. The Solway

Director: Eamon Bourke

Year: 2026

Filmmaker Eamon Bourke lost his mother, Sue, when he was three and has no memory of her. When his father decides to sell the remote Lake District home where she died, Eamon returns with his camera to document the house and its clearing. Among Sue’s belongings - diaries, poems, photographs and tapes - he discovers a box of damaged cassette recordings. After painstakingly repairing them, he uncovers something extraordinary: his mother’s voice. Through these intimate audio diaries, Sue speaks candidly about motherhood, sings to her children, and captures fleeting family moments Eamon never knew. One final tape records her describing the onset of hepatitis, days before she fell into a coma and died in 1983. Another, more haunting still, features three-year-old Eamon calling out to his unconscious mother in hospital, in a desperate attempt to bring her back. As Eamon pieces together this archive, he confronts the enduring impact of early loss, speaking with his father and sisters while retracing the emotional landscape of his childhood. Set against the vast beauty of the Lake District, a deeply personal exploration of grief, memory and love - an attempt to recover what was lost, and to finally say goodbye.
