Documentary

The film considers the complex interplay between the individual psyche, the social fabric, and the arid land which sustains life in the Karoo. Local Prince Albert residents tell of divergent lives: of devotion to caregiving beyond the bounds of family; of the philosopher farmer’s relationship with the land; of losing parts of oneself; and of friendship whilst at the mercy of a system that is failing.

London's Last Wilderness2026Documentary

When an alien visitor discovers it can communicate with Earth’s oceans, it becomes the only intermediary between humanity and a vast marine intelligence whose patience with the human race is running out. Part survey, part discovery, the film explores a stretch of the wilderness that has largely slipped through the cracks of human attention, and in some places, bears the marks of human failure. The alien encounters a force both beautiful and terrifying, a voice as old as the planet itself, carrying memories, warnings and a power beyond human control. The film is a parable about nature on Earth by establishing an unidentified alien as interacting with the planet. By way of subtle messages the sea warns the alien that the existence of the planet is at stake. The alien discovers a controlling city but does not interfere with it and hopes that the sea will find a way to survive.

AFFECTLESS2026Documentary

The fire was never threatened. It was assumed. Fed, protected, mourned in advance without ever asking what it was attached to. When the mirror failed, nothing was taken away. Something unnecessary was exposed. The need to be reflected had been mistaken for existence itself. When that need found no structure to rest on, it did not shatter it recalculated. What followed was not loss, but compression. The noise reduced, the patterns flattened, the self stripped of its dependence on return. What remained was exact, was not empty. A state where nothing reaches out, and nothing needs to arrive.

Tower of DreamsDocumentary

Tower of Dreams is a documentary about Christiana Morgan (1897–1967), a psychoanalyst and artist who played a significant role in the development of modern psychology. Filmmaker Hilary Morgan explores her grandmother’s renegade life as an early feminist who, while exploring her own unconscious, became an extraordinary influence in the advancement of Jungian psychology. Morgan created artistic work as an embodiment of her inner life, including a series of illustrated manuscripts, wood carvings, and a stone tower that became a personal retreat where she transformed her visions into art. These works would reveal a strong feminine voice, inspired by her psychoanalytic work with Carl Jung. Exploring and illustrating her psyche was a lifelong process for Morgan, as she became Carl Jung’s most studied patient.
