SELECTED FILM PROJECTS

HINTERLAND | 2002

Focusing on an East Yorkshire community which live on the fastest eroding coastline in Europe, Hinterland asks how it feels to live in such a precarious situation with homes fatally threatened by the elements.

"...an unusual film, HINTERLAND shows the concept of 'home' as a component of the past, present and future, and how the concept of 'at home' as a place of withdrawal and protection can lose their meaning."
– Renate Gervink Femme Totale Film Festival 2003

"...This story of erosion is a story of our own impermanence and the fragility of our existence."
– Stan Frankland Figuring Landscapes catalogue 2008
