The Great Devon & Cornwall Floods

A look at two of the worst flash floods in British history, which were separated by exactly 52 years, featuring interviews with survivors, rescuers, politicians and experts. On August 16th, 1952, 15cm of rain fell in just a few hours on Lynmouth in Devon, cascaded into the village via the East and West Lyn rivers, bringing with it 114,000 tons of boulders, sediment and uprooted trees that smashed into buildings. 52 years later, on August 16th, 2004, Boscastle in Cornwall suffered four hours of relentless rainfall, which funnelled down the steep banks of the valley from the moors above the port.

Rainbow Junktion

An animated documentary about Rainbow Junktion, a Leeds based foodbank. "Rainbow Junktion" is a sensitive and positive insight into the running and operations of the foodbank. My intention being to preserve a small section of its history and celebrate the people who make it happen. From November to December to 2022, I interviewed customers, volunteers and staff at Rainbow Junktion, a Leeds-based foodbank. The conversations had there during this time, inspired the film which celebrates the wonderful work done by all the people who are a part of this fantastic organisation.

Synergy

August is a gender-fluid person in their early twenties experiencing the mundanity of an urban, fast-paced environment. The film begins with August listening to a track of electronic dance music and immersing themselves in the audio. They are transported throughout the film to four dimensions in their mind's eye, reflecting separate versions of themself. The distinct layers of the music are performed by the different iterations of August, each exploring a corresponding movement vocabulary. The amalgamation of the separate versions of themself, and the way they dance, represents a synergy - an extended metaphor for how identity is fluid and multi-faceted.
