Bearing Fruit of Fondness

Filmed in Northern Isle of Skye, bearing fruit of fondness is a 16mm black and white film hand processed with a type of invasive cotoneaster that is native to Eastern Asia, and was brought to the UK in the 19th century as an ornamental plant. Working with elemental kinship, the process guides a capacity to relate to pain while grounded in the understanding of interdependence, where concept of belonging erodes through patterns of mother-child relationships that extend to nation and citizen, land and dweller. The film features a single-take vocal performance of the script in Chinese by Shen Xin, interspersed with breath and stillness against the Southwest storms heard from their home.

is it experimental? number 3

is it experimental? number 3 uses repetition and photographs of the artist’s chaotic and cramped production environment to expose the working conditions that plague experimental filmmakers without access to a professional studio or equipment. The repeated phrase “I can’t work like this” is true, in that the lack of time and resources can indeed limit creativity, but also tongue in cheek, as Pelling and many other artists in a similar position continue to produce important and relevant film and video works under these constraints.

No Way To Say Goodbye

After the sudden loss of her father, Plamena returns from Sydney to her hometown in Bulgaria. She is caught between the intimacy of grief and the cold machinery of an investigation into what happened. Through fragmented timelines, intimate family moments, and AI-generated readings of institutional letters, No Way to Say Goodbye transforms personal loss into a reflection on empathy and the power of memory to shape who we are. Blurring the boundaries between the personal and the institutional, the film asks how we can remain human in a world increasingly governed by automation and indifference.

Set on the riverbanks of rural Wales, Cariad teams up with her owner Lee and seasoned sniffer dog Neo on a mission to uncover signs of otters—an elusive, protected species. But learning to read the land isn’t easy, and Cariad has a lot to prove. With every scent trail and muddy pawprint, she edges closer to becoming a vital part of the conservation team. It’s a story of instinct, training, and finding your place—one sniff at a time.
