‘Impressions of Time’ is an audiovisual essay film that explores the transgressive yet inherently flawed ability of film as a means to look at the past. It is driven by a formal analysis of the 2022 film Aftersun (Wells), and my own personal home footage taken when I was a child. With a personal tone, the film reflects on the ephemeral nature of memory and looks to uncover the ineffable feeling that comes with looking at family home footage, whilst consisting of a close analysis of the cinematography and visual storytelling of Charlotte Wells’ debut feature. 

Filmed at Respryn Bridge in Cornwall, this short film features a poem by Dr Anna Kiernan that explores the feeling of being unmoored. Water becomes a language of emotion, an immersive space of memory, myth, and imagination, evoking a sense of oneness with the natural world. Framing immersion as both material and metaphor, the piece reflects on embodiment, emotion, and place.

This is Phonic takes you to the heart of Exeter’s community radio station Phonic FM. Shot in their tiny basement studio, this film lays bare the passion and personalities of the dedicated DJ’s as they launch their voices onto the radio waves. With technology changing and an ever-widening menu of entertainment choices on offer to audiences, we ask the question - is anybody listening? And ultimately, does it matter? This is music. This is community radio. This is Phonic.

A short film about Penzance watercolour painter Achar Kumar 'Billy' Burman. Born in Kolkata in 1953, Billy became a distinctive presence in the local art scene, celebrated for his expressive freestyle watercolours and Indian ink flower paintings. Known affectionately as 'Indian Billy' through his years as a DJ, he brought the same fluid energy to his brushwork that he once brought to the turntables. The film follows Billy along Penzance promenade, a place he walked for decades, as he shares reflections on his artistic journey and the spontaneous, unrestrained approach that defines his work.goes here

Granbad is about our hands. It’s a lament to the crafts of days gone by as we swipe sideways through life. Set in a rural town that is built next to a busy ‘A’ road where bored teenagers watch life, literally, pass right under their feet. Yet our young character Sol finds purpose in a woodwork project with his Grandfather and pleasure in learning new skills.

Shore Shelter, The Rose, The Shamrock, The One and All, The Bay View - places of mystery and the passing of time. These old-fashioned lodges are unique to St. Ives, Cornwall. Built on the harbour front at the turn of the twentieth century as social clubs for fishermen to gather, only three now remain. Inside Shore Shelter, a wood-fired stove sits at the centre, surrounded by faded photographs of historic boats and fishermen long gone. Today these lodges teeter on the brink of disappearing, yet within their weathered walls, old St. Ives persists while tourists and trade rush by outside. Shot during the 2020 lockdown, this poetic short film layers time and storytelling. Newly shot Super 8 and 16mm film, contemporary digital interviews, archive footage, Cornish dialect and a specially composed soundscape by Jamie Mills are woven together with audio archive and the evocative poetry of St. Ives poet John T. Barber. What does the ebb and flow of the sea bring as the old fishing community of St. Ives fades away? The film formed part of a wider heritage project in partnership with St. Ives Archive and funded by Heritage Fund, Awards for All, Cornwall Community Foundation, Feast and The Tanner Trust.
