Playback – 2026 – My video archive from Homotopia and Duckie is a vital resource that captures the essence of LGBTQ+ culture through a diverse collection of videos. Since 2006, I have documented significant events and projects, showcasing the evolution of LGBTQ+ arts and culture in the UK.This extensive archive includes interviews, performances, and documentaries featuring influential LGBTQ+ figures such as Terence Davies and April Ashley. It serves as a historical record of pivotal moments in queer culture, celebrating the creativity and resilience of the LGBTQ+ community while ensuring these important stories are preserved for future generations. The project has been made possible with funding from the National Archives
The Green Arbour – 2025 – The Green Arbour is an intimate portrait of a botanist-turned-printmaker who has spent a lifetime coaxing beauty from indifferent soil.A chance glimpse of a cactus in a North London florist’s window sends a shy post-war schoolboy down an unexpected path: drawing at Kew, researching plants in Edinburgh, then creating a 17th-style garden, with his partner James, on the coast near Edinburgh.Against a backdrop of Section 28 Britain, the AIDS crisis and small-town homophobia, he preserves love letters and thousands of botanical specimens—proof that queer history can root, ramify and flower.Mixing candid reminiscence with lush, present-day footage of their next garden, the film asks what we choose to keep alive—and why.
