Lunar Visions II

During lockdown I started an experiment, filming each full moon for a year. I also tried to ‘understand’ lunar science but whatever books I read I couldn’t seem to hold the facts in my head. Instead, each month I was surprised by the things I observed directly – a fingernail sliver moon, a punch hole in the sky. Because the repetition of that act of filming meant I noticed both consistency and changes – clear nights, cloudy nights, masked moons, moving moons. Filming made me stop and look. A vital reminder: it’s the looking that matters.

Elegy for the Lost

Through a kaleidoscopic collection of archives, found footage, and even AI-generated images, a young woman who has left China recalls her memories and the connections she had in her native country. Her intimate and nostalgic voice-over becomes the backdrop for queer struggles, where an underground theatre troupe, the excitement of clandestine festivals, repression, and social pressure to live in silence intersect. Between personal memory and collective history, the film juxtaposes love, resistance, and exile.

Unexpected encounters on the coast of Wales weave the ancient tale of changing boundaries between forest and sea.

It draws on Welsh archaeology, ancient forest and questions the past and future of communities, territory and trees. Do the uncanny scenes of the past with their tantalising sounds reflect the strangeness associated with our times of local and global heating and ecological breakdown?

Journey to Nazi Berlin

Traveling to a totalitarian, authoritarian — or simply unfree — country is easy today. The real question is what such a journey allows one to see, and more importantly, to truly notice. Most travelers return with conventional impressions: restaurants, cafés, exhibitions, theaters. Yet distance often sharpens perception. With this in mind, the filmmakers travel to Nazi Berlin of 1936, seeking to understand what impressions and observations they might have brought back from this dazzling, remarkable, and deeply unsettling city.
