Fine artist Charlotte Cook's atmospheric film takes its inspiration from the Greek myth of Leda and The Swan, offering a meditation on mental health and queerness.

Charlotte is an artist based in Newcastle, originally from Hull. The awkward, intimate and coded aspects of her work reveal elements of dislocation and violence in everyday life.
