Thanks to Steve Brace of the RGS-IBG for letting me know about this new addition to the Caught by the River website.
It's a short film which has been made by Rowan Jaines as part of her work on the Cultural Geography of the Fens. It focuses on the Cambridgeshire Fens, through which I travel on a normal work day and have done for the last eight years.
This video essay is part of a four-year research project exploring the cultural geography of the Fen region in the East of England.The film is made up of a bricolage of clips of the Fen region, scavenged from the internet and put together in a piecemeal fashion so that the images on screen both intensify and disrupt the linear arc of the narration.
This is a film that aims to show the Fens as haunted by both the past and those things that have not yet come to be.
