on-sea

Directed by Hatty Bell

2016 – 20'

Synopsis

on-sea is a portrait film about the small community that lives on the Bush Estate at Eccles-on-sea, Norfolk. It is a film about landscape, and how people interact with it through day-to-day minutiae as well as being a celebration of Englishness. The film’s pace adjusts to the tempo of the community.

Having visited a caravan at Eccles-on-Sea for most of her life, the filmmaker set out to satisfy a curiosity about what inspires the lives of those that live on the Bush Estate and the changes in their lives that took them there in the first place.

**Screening followed by Q&A with director Hatty Bell**
