Rhadinace

With their wells depleted, offshore platforms await decommissioning, while on land, oil burns in an annual ritual. Rhadinace builds on previous explorations of socio-ecological relationships, investigating an oil rig ‘graveyard’ in northern Scotland and the surrounding community. Through a partly fictionalised account of the Clavie burning, the film weaves together industry and tradition. Its score and pacing deliberately evoke echoes of eco and folk horror cinema, heightening the tension between extraction, mythology, and the natural world.
