Drifting in search of lagoons


Join Aoife Desmond on a series of drift walks amongst the manmade lagoons of Belfast Harbour. Although few humans were encountered, this highly industrialised wasteland is dominated by signs of human presence. Within this inhospitable terrain the residues of a natural landscape have continued in tandem with its marine life and tidal cycles captured by her super 8 camera. For the first time this film can be experienced with a new soundtrack by anti-architect Keef Winters.
