Island

Synopsis

This documentary examines the new work of Tim Macmillan, one of Britain's most exciting and contemporary photographers, who produces still and moving tableaux that capture time and space, known as 'time-slice', Tim's own technical and conceptual innovation. His most recent project on Lundy Island is the backdrop to understanding Tim's work, and the process of filming in a hostile environment is interwoven with the time-slice material.

Set in the rolling landscapes of the Cotswolds, a documentary exploring the lives, challenges, and traditions of the farmers who shape this iconic countryside.
