The Secret Life of Balconies

A hand-drawn animation odyssey through Michael Pederson’s poem The Secret Life of Balconies, where the everyday transforms into the extraordinary. A restricted primary color palette heightens the poem’s sense of wonder, guiding viewers through a circular journey—plummeting from the cosmos to Earth, diving into the smallest details of life, before rocketing back into the stars. A celebration of nature, human connection, and the magic hidden in the mundane.

We're Still Here: Voices from the Streets of Newcastle

In 2024 Shelter North East undertook a piece of research in Newcastle, speaking to 39 individuals who were either currently sleeping rough in Newcastle or had done so within the previous 12 months. On 2 December 2025 we launched a report detailing our findings and providing a set of recommendations for local authorities. As part of the launch we released a short film amplifying the voices of the men and women who participated in our survey. Their experiences of rough sleeping and ideas for solutions are insights that must shape our response.

Siticulosa

Siticulosa’s multidisciplinary research considers the relationship between archaeology, geology and agriculture in the Puglian landscape. “Parched” or “very dry”, as in Horace’s description of the region (Siticulosa Apulia), continues to be an accurate description of the dominant conditions that allow for the appearance of crop marks to indicate the presence of archaeological sites beneath. The film is a study of a territory, and the marks and wounds that it bears of a history of pillage, but also a portrait of the people that inhabit it (farmers, antique dealers, amateur archaeologists, local historians) and their symbiotic relationship to the landscape.

A Spot in the Sun

An artist’s attempt to recreate experimental filmmaker Chris Marker’s Sans Soleil from memory. Working from fragments, the film weaves together into an engrossing narrative. It follows patterns of thought through material such as Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo, WG Sebald’s The Rings of Saturn, Virginia Woolf’s The Waves, and combines it with personal, intimate footage, images of the Welsh landscape, San Francisco, and of course, Chris Marker’s favourite animal.

Breaking Bach

Part documentary, part performance capture, entirely thrilling. This uplifting project follows a group of young dancers as they collaborate with internationally acclaimed choreographer Kim Brandstrup and the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment. Born out the the OAE's residency at North London's Acland Burghley School, Brandstrup, together with professional dancers Tommy Franzen, Deavion Brown, and Seirian Griffiths, worked with students over two years to create a new piece that fuses hip hop movement with the intricate musical world of J.S. Bach. The result was an exhilarating, sold-out performance at the 2025 Edinburgh International Festival. As the project grew, so did the students. Their uncertainty transforms into confidence, joy, and a mesmerizing new dance language. Their natural rhythmic intelligence becomes the key to unlocking Bach's complex music, revealing unexpected links between Baroque counterpoint and the street-style flow of hip hop.

Death in the Desert: The Nurse Helen Mystery

In 1979, 23 year old British nurse Helen Smith died in suspicious circumstances in Saudi Arabia. The Saudi authorities quickly ruled it an accident, but their refusal to investigate further created international mystery, with accusations that the Thatcher government was more interested in oil than justice. Now, 45 years on, previously classified documents reveal in this documentary what the British government really knew about Helen's death.
