Plot summary

FERAL is an audio/visual piece based on the book by, and featuring, George Monbiot and explores themes of rewilding, ecological crisis and human loss of connection with the natural world. The project is based on a collaboratively devised screenplay by Composer Hollie Harding and choreographer and director Josh Ben-Tovim, and evolved as a part of Hollie's residency with the London Symphony Orchestra on their Jerwood Plus Composer Scheme. The score investigates the potential of performed sound, foley and on-location field recording in combination - and uses the film as a stimulus for exploring the complex relationships between sound and sight, humans and ecology.
