Wind, Tide & Oar

Shot on a 1960's hand-wound analogue camera, Wind, Tide & Oar fosters a dialogue between sailor, boat, and the elements.

The film addresses themes of ecology, sustainability, heritage, traditional skills, and maritime history, whilst journeying through the rivers, coastlines, and open seas of the UK, Netherlands, and France.

Made over three years and meeting an array of traditional vessels, Wahl offers a poetic and intimate perspective on a millennia-old craft, which has been dwarfed by the invention of mechanized power.

'This contemplative documentary is a feast for the ears and the eyes, its gorgeous imagery giving Turner a run for his money' - Cath Clarke, Guardian
