Pastoral Malaise is a short film about the absences within rural pastoral environments, often framed by romanticism and picturesque conventions, constructed as tourist sites and refuges in rural landscapes across Britain.

Visual artist Alicia Nauta embarks on an ambitious new project in which she is both the creator and the canvas. Unfolding nearly wordlessly to the percussive music of John Cage, UNTOLD HOURS captures the painstaking labour of an artist at work with a singular blend of absurd humour and unexpected beauty.

What do our cameras say about us? As a tapestry of footage collected from surveillance cameras over the last four years, Self-Portrait moves from moment to moment around the world, beginning with the frozen storminess of winter, to the melt of spring, the lush heat of summer, and finally the decay and cooling of autumn: the dawn of winter. The film shows a candid peek at humanity through what we've chosen to document – all of these cameras set up for primarily capitalistic, "property"-protecting purposes, but yielding a beauty and a truth – an incidental portrait.
