No Rest For The Fluid

Proxi and Peri, 'the tides made flesh' wake on a bleak shore, surprised to still be human, as they anticipated a well-earned retirement managing marginal mediterranean tides. They cross a hostile landscape to ask the moon why she reneged on their deal, and argue the pros and cons of being human en route. Commissioned for Bristol Loves Tides, the film pays homage to buddy movies and Spaghetti Westerns to raise questions about our highly problematic relationship with non human systems.
