About
Paul Wright's experimental documentary explores Britain's relationship to its land through archive footage, cinema history and a future protagonist's journey through four seasons.
Arcadia is an experimental documentary directed by Paul Wright. It looks at how British people have seen their own land across more than a century of cinema, and at Britain's changing connection to its land and culture. The film draws on one hundred years of footage from the BFI National Archive, set to music by Adrian Utley and Will Gregory. Ian Sexon and Laura Rennie are credited with voice work. In the film, an unnamed protagonist from the future travels through four metaphorical seasons. This journey is presented as a sensory passage through the beauty, eccentricity, brutality and magic of the relationship between people, the land and each other.
