Nocturne for a Lighterman
Director: Sarah Tremlett
Year: 2025
Dark undercurrents interact in the lives of Victorian artist – James McNeill Whistler – and a bargeman (one of poetry filmmaker Sarah Tremlett’s ancestors) on the River Thames in London. Based on Whistler’s painting Nocturne in Blue and Gold, Old Battersea Bridge, the poem is written in neo-symbolist mode and the contemporary footage is of the same view as the original. The soundscape by leading Belgian composer Marc Neys, though not inspired by Debussy, evolved from Tremlett’s fascination with his repetitive musical phrases, and his friendship with Whistler. Nocturne for a Lighterman is taken from TREE, a forthcoming family history chronicle by Sarah Tremlett, and is an experiment with painting with film.
Babamamadada
Director: Sarah Tremlett
Year: 2000
We follow the ups and downs of a toddler's day, alternating between the baby's point of view and that of the harassed, unseen mother.
Matter of Britain
Director: Peter Treherne
Year: 2026
MATTER OF BRITAIN was an English country village’s performance of the Holy Grail myth. In that myth, King Arthur’s knights quest for the Holy Grail in order to heal their wasted land. The performance took place over 12 months from 2023 to 2024 in multiple locations across the parish of Mayfield, East Sussex. Over 300 members of the community took part as questing knights, angelic choirs, guiding anchorites and tempting devils. The performance was documented and subsequently made into an ethnographic fantasy that has screened at the Museum of Modern Art, CPH:DOX, Cinéma du Réel and Open City Documentary Film Festival. The work was supported by an Arts Council England Project Grant, the Lund Trust, High Weald AONB, East Sussex Arts Partnership, the University of Reading and the Museum of English Rural Life.
