The film emerges out of a collaboration between six artists to explore ways materials are used by people. Through a series of choreographed actions the artists manipulate and control a set. Detailed shots of the artists and set are taken from a single camera viewpoint and overlaid with shared memories of a visit to a Physics lab at the University of Cambridge. Fragments of misunderstood scientific processes compete with the memory of trying to physically navigate the laboratory to locate a water fountain. The cacophony reflects the complexity of being enmeshed within material worlds whilst also trying to understand them. First Acts is a series of films celebrating England's most exciting 16 - 24 year-old artists and filmmakers in partnership with the Arts Council England.
