The Great mound

Overview

A short experimental film that centers on Silbury Hill, the largest human-made prehistoric mound in Europe and part of the Neolithic monument complex at Avebury, Wiltshire. The work approaches the site through the lens of geo-anatomy — the earth as body, mother, and sentient presence — drawing on feminist cosmologies that reimagine landscape as kin. Shot on Super 8mm and interwoven with field recordings, the film employs the camera as a somatic tool, an extension of embodied experience, to explore how memory, ritual, and myth are inscribed in place.
