A “recycled” short from past films, archive footage, and local collaboration, mapping energy from sunlit seas and peat bogs through coal, nuclear, and wind
Synopsis
BAFTA-winning Mark Jenkins crafts a “recycled” short from past films, archive footage, and local collaboration, mapping energy from sunlit seas and peat bogs through coal, nuclear, and wind. Created in response to the Orkney Creative Landscape Futures workshop, it’s a reflection on place, process, and how small stories—rooted in land and sea—can shape what comes next.
