Slow Film, reflects on our experience of time and nature's reclamation of urban spaces during the UK Covid-19 pandemic lockdowns of 2020-21. In this film, I combine slowed footage of my children jumping on a trampoline with night-shot video and audio of a local fox who became a regular visitor to our garden. Set to a space-inspired soundtrack charting Voyager's first trip to the moon, the film conjures the out of normal world experience many of us felt at that time as we halted our routines and reconsidered our priorities.
