SHORT DOCUMENTARY FOR THE GUARDIAN

The Climate and the Cross was commissioned by the Guardian. The film explores some of the different ways in which the issue of climate change is understood by American Christians.

Religious freedom and access to abundant natural resources have been cornerstones of the American identity for centuries.  This context goes some way to explaining America’s status as the largest producer of green-house gasses, and also the very high rates of religious affiliation - unusual for a wealthy nation. Spanning across 7 states, The Climate and the Cross explores the different ways that Christians understand climate change. As well as exploring their Christian beliefs, the film also asks how other factors such as place, political identity, race, class and the experience of extreme weather events coalesce to shape views on global warming.

**WINNER OF GRAND PRIZE IN SHORT FILMMAKING AT INTERNATIONAL MARITIME FILM FESTIVAL 2016**
**NOMINATED FOR BEST DOCUMENTARY AT THE LONDON SHORT FILM FESTIVAL 2016**

We follow one woman as she heads to sea on a fishing boat. In the eerie night or under the still bright sun, it's not always clear where or when this is. It appears as a dream removed from the particulars of the woman's circumstances and so in her melancholy narration she might not just be describing her own life alone, but also ours.

This film was made by possible thanks to the kind support from the Macdowell Colony.

"Chloe White uses simple techniques - talking head and archive footage - to tell Lee's story. Refined, considered and moving, just like its remarkable interviewee. " - Dylan Cave, BFI

A 20 minute documentary which details the experience of Lee, now in his 80s, when the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima in 1945. The film is told through Lee's eyes as he remembers where he was, and how it affected him afterwards. The film uses archive footage against modern day shots of Hiroshima to show how the city has changed, and recovered from it's brutal past. The film touches on themes of memory, and loss, and poses the question: how we can move forwards with our lives when we hold such painful memories?

Published on NOWNESS

The film is set deep in the hills of Sardinia, in a small shepherding town famous for its murals. Deeply traditional, the town’s residents still speak their own form of Sardinian. Young men gallop up and down the cobbled streets on horseback, and women dress in black.

This short documentary explores how residents use story and memory to make sense of their lives. Some refer to political ideology as a tool of explanation, and others to local memories and lore. Story and memory are also embodied in a more tangible way in the production of a dripping ricotta, around which the film hangs.

FEATURE DOCUMENTARY

1,001 Days is a feature documentary in development told through the eyes of a group of South African women who live in one of the poorest urban areas in South Africa, Alexandra, where two thirds of the women are abuse survivors. They are on a mission to change the fate of their neighbourhood, right from the beginning- at childbirth. Drawing on their own tough experiences of motherhood, these women go from home to home, supporting new mothers in their community through the first 1,001 days of their children's lives.

1,001 Days takes the audience on a journey through the chaotic and narrow streets of Alexandra as we follow our three main characters on their quest to empower women and change the course of their lives, and their children’s’.

A short film we made, directed, shot and edited by Francis Longhurst for the World Association of the Society of Anaesthesiologists.

Every year around 290,000 women die due to complications in pregnancy and childbirth. 90% of these deaths are preventable. Can you imagine facing difficulties during birth in an environment where access to safe anaesthesia and surgery is limited? Happy Birth Days is an insight into everyday childbirth in Tanzania, and into the Safer Anaesthesia From Education (SAFE) obstetric anaesthesia course which brings Tanzanian anaesthesia providers together for training on how to address the major causes of maternal mortality and give the safest possible care. Happy Birth Days defines access to safe anaesthesia and surgery, not as a luxury, but as a basic human right - with the potential to save the lives of hundreds of thousands of mothers and babies around the world.
