Adra ni, y Môr
Lara has built a life for herself and her daughter, Magi, with the sea at its heart, lived and explored in their mother tongue, Welsh. But as external forces push them ever closer to danger, their world begins to crumble around them.
She Sells Shellfish
Filmed in black and white super 8, She Sells Shellfish is a collage of two Welsh women’s lives with those of the archived past. A curious exploration of the female cockle gatherers of South Wales, and the surprising secret shellfish and seaweed hold for our oceans’ health.
