Project Detail

Motion

Synopsis

Homeless, aging, unstable, Don is a man without a role or a future.
As Christmas approaches on the streets of Brighton, a fragile life falls apart unnoticed. Perhaps the factory of time and motion is the answer to Don's prayers.

Motion is a journey into an unseen Britain. An emotionally charged and uncompromising digital vision, it was made over a period of 18 months on a budget of just £3,000. First-time director Tom Clay brings a new closeness to life on the fringes, using hidden camera techniques to merge fiction and real life, before delivering a final act of unexpected transcendence.
