A VR image. A cherry blossom tree in summer, where blossoms are gently falling in the breeze The Last Tree

Director: James Hosken, Katie Eggleston, Lauren Fitzpatrick, Mimi Harmer

Year: 2025

An interactive stationary VR experience that invites quiet reflection on nature, slowness, and change. It offers a moment to sit, observe, and influence the atmosphere in a peaceful, dreamlike virtual world. The experience places the audience on a hilltop, looking across at a lone tree gently swaying in the breeze on another hill. The audience can move their hands gently to influence the wind. The seasons cycle over the course of ten minutes, the visual and audio aesthetics shifting with the changes. The piece emerged from thinking about how nature changes quietly around us, often unnoticed. We invite the audience to consider how small gestures and moments connect us to the world’s larger cycles, and how ephemeral and fragile those cycles are.

Director: Isolda Milenkovic

Year: 2025

An animated documentary short about traditional textile crafts. A love letter to the act of hand-making, traditional craft practices, and the people who love them. Stemming from the fear of these art forms slipping away in a society that no longer values the human labour behind them.
