GREEN SPACE
A youth group from Bristol stand on both sides of the camera as they reflect on their adventures in the Welsh countryside. Staff members become interviewees, the woodland a canvas, and sandy beaches a prime scene for aerial cinematography. This is a film that celebrates young people, access to the outdoors, and the craft of documentary filmmaking.
