Contest is an experimental short film, which critiques the UK Government’s contested counter-terrorism strategy of the same name. It explores the themes of group dynamics, movement, exclusion and persuasion through the context of a children’s workshop, juxtaposing footage with shots of the Thames Barrier. The direction in which the water flows through London, echoes the movement of ideas across continents and the East/West divide. First Acts: A series of films celebrating England's most exciting 16 - 24 year-old artist, filmmakers in partnership with the Arts Council England.
