Hive

A vertical format film partly funded by a bursary from the West of England Visual Arts Alliance (WEVAA). The video combines extracts from Bernard Mandeville's poem from 1714 ‘Fable of the Bees’ with the consumer items taken from the Office of National Statistics' list of goods used to measure consumer confidence.  The video illustrates how society continues to unsustainably consume goods and resources despite evidence of the harm that this causes. 

The film has been screened at vertical film festivals in Italy and Mexico.
