Narrator (voice)
Heavy Water is the latest film by Adam Scovell. Adam’s films plait parallel histories – folk horror, literature, experimental film, experimental music – into relived journeys through super-8 landscapes that are dense with sound, texture and the associations of the occultish underbelly of 20th century British art. This short film explores coastline of the Sizewell B Nuclear power station.
