Behind the shuttered doors, amongst the ledgers, the stuffed cupboards, the tea chests and the family memorabilia, filmmaker Ian Fenton and poet Jacob Polley discovered a decaying world caught between the near and distant past. Where obsolete floppy discs rubbed shoulders with cheques from the 1870s and everything – right down to the dirt itself – seemed imbued with historical significance.
Followed by Q&A with directors Ian Fenton and Jacob Polley.
