The Archive

This film is created with traditional documentary techniques - it is compiled from archival documents that include audio recordings by David Drucker, son of the Russian Jews who escaped before the Revolution, and Susan, his daughter. Drucker suffered not during the Holocaust, but later during the McCarthy years, when he became a victim of the witch hunt and was suspected in collaboration with the communist regime, from which his family had run away. Together with Drucker, we witness the paradoxical paranoia that used to infect America in those days.

Yet in the 21st century, council housing remains on the agenda, and is currently in the throes of another chapter under the coalition government.

Triskelion

A dark abstract exploration of the ‘Alice in Wonderland’ theme and mind control. Three realities spiral together as a woman sacrifices everything attempting to escape the labyrinth, fighting to become the master of her consciousness. A twisting triptych of narratives spirals together a contemporary metaphor, exploring the dark night of the soul. The themes of imprisonment by technology, torture, sacrifice we make for our material reality. Self empowerment, rebirth, naked and bloody as a warrior within fights to escape. The ‘Triskelion’ is a maze-like symbol of three interlocking spirals, the film structure moves in a similar way, connected at the centre through the characters journey, whilst evolving as three narrative layers pull the story into a spiral. Each of the themes drift towards their own end whilst forming a complete visual puzzle at the climax.

With unprecedented access to both sides of the story, this authored documentary, by Bafta award-winning film-maker Leo Regan, explores the controversy surrounding paediatrician Dr David Southall and a group of mothers, who he accused of abusing their children.
