A collaborative film experiment that attempts to engage the viewer with the materiality of filmmaking and glimpses of an abandoned industrial site on the Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall, UK. The film was shot on Super8 and hand processed, however, an accidental misloading of the film led to much of it becoming stuck together, obscuring the exposed images underneath the film material.

Penn-ar-Bed, a moving image piece, is based on the loss of culture that comes with the loss of language.

In part a fictional collective memory, in part an attempt to reconnect with my family history, the film is Brittany as I have come to know it as an adult.

Halfway between a documentary and an artistic installation, Heimat, starting from the creative fragmentation of the Last Letters from Stalingrad, a collection of letters written in December 1942 by German soldiers besieged in the Stalingrad sack, is a sensorial and universal investigation of that very mysterious object that is the memory of Home: a mysterious, elusive object, always on the verge of fading. In Heimat, the paste of old family films, brushstrokes of color and chemical residues of decomposing film coexist. A reality that becomes oneiric, almost hallucinatory.
