How Can We Escape? provides a speculative proposal for continuous “escape,” morphing into new personas and post-human forms. From a CGI fish, to underwater organisms, from AI-designed creatures, to microbial animals, from the walk-through for a new house, to dispersal as an artificial cloud. An entanglement of escape routes between different forms emerges, which constantly feed into and contaminate one another via porous borders between digital and physical forms, poor and HD images.

Waiting Up to Meet the Wolf is a quiet call to action for humanity to reverse the rapid decline of dark skies, told through personal memories of the dark from the director’s childhood and adult life. Coalescing the past, present and future, the film weaves these stories around those of the Moonlight Tower, a short-lived 19th century lighting technology. The film’s day as night ambient audio track, visual shakiness and interruptive transitions are designed to create a slightly off-kilter viewing experience, echoing the widespread confusion or “nocturnal jet-lag” felt by much of the animal kingdom when darkness is lost or altered. Shot on 16mm, the film was hand-processed using homemade eco-reversal techniques that complemented the subject matter; from charcoal development to car headlight exposure. The film owes its very existence to that which it laments, the presence of unwanted and at times uncontrolled light.

Mahler's 8th is one of the greatest orchestral and choral works in the classical repertoire and is rarely performed. The work has been called the 'Symphony of a Thousand', and requires eight soloists and several choirs, in addition to the orchestra. Edward Gardner's last concert in the role of Chief Conductor of the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra was during the Bergen International Festival, with the monumental Mahler's 8th Symphony in E-flat major on the programme. The concert won the Critics' Prize for Music 2023–2024, and what has been described as a "heavenly finale" has been captured for the big screen. 'Try to imagine the whole universe beginning to ring and resound. There are no longer human voices, but planets and suns revolving.' the composer said of his eighth symphony. When the work was premiered in 1910, with Mahler conducting, it broke all the rules and boundaries of what symphonies could and should be.
