As the sun sets on the banks of the River Severn on the outskirts of Gloucester, a group of men gather in a race to catch a vanishing and valuable creature; the elusive elver. Isla Badenoch’s atmospheric view of this moonlit community shows how a rite of passage has changed into a fight for values, tradition and a connection to nature in an environment of impending change.
We are very grateful to Isla Badenoch for her kind permission to screen her film.
