Scouring 100 years of footage from the BFI National Archive, BAFTA winner, Paul Wright, constructs an exhilarating study of Britain’s shifting – and contradictory – relationship to the land. Wright crafts a dense poetic essay of wonder, hope, horror and decay; drawing on inspiration from The Wicker Man to Winstanley. Set to a grand, expressive score from Adrian Utley (Portishead) and Will Gregory (Goldfrapp).
