Plastico

In Almeria Province in Spain, a sea of plastic sheeting covers the land creating the the largest collection of greenhouses in the world. The invernaderos (as they are called in Spanish) cover upwards of 150 square miles and are visible by the naked eye from space. A large proportion of Europe's vegetables and fruit is intensively farmed here. A huge amount of plastic waste is created each year, estimated to be more than 30000 tons. These hot houses are staffed by an army of African migrants working in extreme heat conditions in the summer months.

Notes From Brook House

Airports, detention centres, sea containers. Slow, roaming shots linger on places of passage and confinement, where movement is measured and controlled. Fragments of stories, words passed from one person to another. Encounters along the way reveal different ways of seeing, different ways of understanding. Voices emerge, sharing stories from those held inside Brook House, a large immigration centre on London’s outskirts. Through shifting perspectives, the film examines migration, control, and the space between perception and reality.

Nobody’s Word

A family convenes exactly 500 years after Charles V grants permission to Lorenzo de Gorrevod ‘to import 4000 Africans into New Spain’. The King’s act marks the escalation of a rupture, with its origins in 1492, that remakes the world and reverberates into the present. This apparent “start of slavery” becomes an occasion to tell the story of one family’s implication across time and space. In nobody’s word Taylor digitises and disintegrates the family archive in order to reframe accounts, destabilise claims and inhabit spaces between fact and fiction, questioning the narrative impulses that inform the stories we tell.

Great Gardens: Great Dixter, Spring

Photographer, filmmaker and biodynamic gardener Howard Sooley began visiting Great Dixter in the late 1980s and developed a deep connection with the 15t century house and its renowned gardens in East Sussex. Great Dixter was home to gardener and garden writer Christopher Lloyd, who devoted himself to the garden from childhood until his. death in 2006 in a symbiotic relationship that defined both man and garden. Sooley's film celebrates the exceptional biodiversity and beauty of the garden with a tenderness that reflects the activities of its gardeners.
