EROSION - Inter-Change of state
dir. Julian Hand
Nominated for Best East Anglian Film
​
— A beautiful yet ruthless inter-change of state.
Relentless coastal erosion has seen many metres of land lost to the North Sea’s ravages. With the capacity to both reveal and remove, its sustained attack shapes and creates unique landscapes of which to investigate. But at a cost, as the land recedes with it homes and communities disappear. The film records the physical traces of erosion upon the coastline using the photographic nature of cine film. Through experimentation with the mediums susceptibility to external forces such as the sea, weathering and physical corruption by hand, it constructs an experience of the landscape exposing the eternal conflict between land and sea.

YH723

Nominated for Best East Anglian Film
​
Experimental film employing homemade emulsion.
Begun as a series of experiments to make a cyanotype film emulsion, the various distortions and abstractions of the printed images became a source of fascination. The source images are of one of the first films shot in East Anglia in the UK by pioneer filmmaker Birt Acres. Images continually emerge, taking on the characteristics of texture and pattern of the emulsion, and then dissolve into alternative textures or to obscurity behind the film surface itself.
