Stronger than the wave
Stronger than the Wave is a sensory documentary that captures the experience of walking a historic 1,000-kilometre route tracing Japan’s north-eastern coastline. Filmed while walking sections of the Michinoku Coastal Trail, the camera wanders through quiet coastal towns, mountain passes and hand-carved tunnels. The region is observed at a human pace, from the perspective of a traveller on foot.

The house of ron hitchins
"Ron Hitchins (1926-2019) was a British-born artist, sculptor and flamenco dancer whose life and soul were rooted in Hackney." - Mark Hill
Hitchins was a highly prolific artist with a vast output, leaving a substantial and important collection at his house, which was then sold in 2021. Before the sale, the filmmakers were able to visit the house and experience the cornucopia of work that Hitchins had adorned his home with throughout his vibrant life in Hackney.

A short science-fiction film, styled in the tradition of Chris Marker's La Jetée — told largely through still and near-still imagery rather than conventional motion, exploring memory and archive.
