Synopsis
Guided by light — both abstract and concrete, a vital energy in the ecological environment — the work draws inspiration from natural states. It captures nature from a microscopic perspective, holding fleeting moments and connecting all senses with the living world. The images emerge through exposure — an encounter with light — developed with natural ingredients found on site. Sounds were recorded at sunrise and sunset; light-sensitive emulsions were coated and exposed under a new moon, in a park free of light pollution—an open-air darkroom. The film was created at Guandu Nature Park during the summer art festival of 2024 in Taiwan.

For a year, acclaimed British filmmaker Jeanie Finlay was embedded on the set of the hit HBO series “Game of Thrones,” chronicling the creation of the show’s most ambitious and complicated season. Debuting one week after the series 8 finale, GAME OF THRONES: THE LAST WATCH delves deep into the mud and blood to reveal the tears and triumphs involved in the challenge of bringing the fantasy world of Westeros to life in the very real studios, fields and car-parks of Northern Ireland. Made with unprecedented access, GAME OF THRONES: THE LAST WATCH is an up-close and personal portrait from the trenches of production, following the crew and the cast as they contend with extreme weather, punishing deadlines and an ever-excited fandom hungry for spoilers. Much more than a “making of” documentary, this is a funny, heartbreaking story, told with wit and intimacy, about the bittersweet pleasures of what it means to create a world – and then have to say goodbye to it.
