The Line We Crossed

Page75 Productions (dir: Liz Smith)

A nonviolent civil resistance group is demanding the UK government stop licensing new oil, gas and coal projects in the face of the climate emergency. The more they resist, the more the government clamps down on their right to protest and subjects them to arrests and harsh prison sentences. This film exposes the chilling effect of draconian laws being passed that affect the democratic rights of all British citizens. Are we at a tipping point of no return for our democratic rights as well as for the climate crisis?

The Conspiracists

Page75 Productions (dir: Liz Smith)

After a January 6th insurrectionist is sentenced to two and a half years in prison for her part in the storming of The Capitol, a researcher and a filmmaker embark on a road trip with her from DC to Idaho. En route they visit her fellow insurrectionists and hear about their respective journeys of “awakening”. The insurrectionist takes the researcher and filmmaker on an intense journey into her labyrinth of conspiracy, but is disappointed when, by the end of the trip, she has not succeeded in her mission to elevate them out of their 3D world and help them to see the truth.

Decayed

Desiderium

Music/Story

Desiderium is a latin word defining desire, longing, or grief for something lost. This Desiderium is a story about long hot summers, council estates and ghosts with progressive and post-rock music. Containing 13 pieces featuring both spoken word and instrumental tracks, the album is rooted in personal truth interspersed with ancient mythology and history. Partly an insight into his upbringing, growing up through the summers of the mid-Seventies, into the Winter of Discontent and Thatcher’s Britain, the album weaves in themes of whispered ghost stories captivated by the past.
