Synopsis

A chorale documentary which celebrates our relationships with nature, inspired by the best-selling illustrated book by Robert Macfarlane and Jackie Morris. A scientific film with an artistic heart, it actively invites us to explore and reshape our anthropocentric point of view through an odyssey around the UK where we meet artists, scientists, children, the elderly and all different people in between. Their words and philosophy drift organically through the four seasons which each have their own colour, sound and feel. By reminding us that we too are part of nature, they bring us to see what we are losing and how to reconnect with it. By observing one landscape closely, the characters explore vast and global questions about our Planet.

Hello You is an autopsy of your reflection. This mirror has two sides: one that observes, and another that follows. Exploring stories of altered perception, from phantom limbs to the feeling of being a stranger in your own body, the experience stretches the split-second act of self-recognition into something you can watch unfold. Here you are asked not to look at yourself, but at the lenses through which you look.
