BAFTSS 2023 Practice-Research Award - Honourable Mention Award

Nothing Echoes Here is a Brigstow Institute-funded short film, that was written, shot and directed in order to investigate the portrayal and representation of grief in fiction cinema. Formal elements of film language and performance seek to portray grief in an authentic and empathetic manner, prioritising a sense of experience over story and narrative. The film also explores the role that space – interior, exterior, familiar, non-familiar and the aural space of silence too – plays for those grieving a sudden, profound loss.
