BODIES is a film for two screens based on a series of ten interviews with women and non-binary people, each of whom have a connection to open water.
The voices you hear explore their relationships with bodies of open water as sounds and images from under and above the water surround you. The film celebrates the water for all its beauty, mystery, multiplicity, and magic, and uses it as a platform for discussions about the body, identity, life, and death.
Content warning: discussion of mental ill-health, grief and death.

about Abby:
Abby is a sound artist and filmmaker at the end of a Music (MA) degree at the University of Glasgow.
Originally her background was in vocal performance and arrangement, but her Music degree has introduced her to Sonic Arts and Audiovisual Media – a field she would not have been able to explore otherwise. Now, she specialises in audiovisual work as well as sound design for theatre and film.
Much of her work has had a focus on the natural world, wild water, and the human experience. She is particularly keen to take on projects that allow further exploration of those themes.
