She Sells Shellfish
2023
Commissioned by WOW Film Festival and Dhaka Doc Lab supported by The British Council International Collaboration Grant 2023
She Sells Shellfish / Molysgiaid a Menywod y Môr is a short doc shot on super 8mm, connecting two Welsh women’s lives with those of the archived past. A curious exploration of the female cockle gatherers of South Wales, and the surprising secret shellfish and seaweed hold for our oceans’ health.
