Filmed in Broken Hill, Beam hovers between fiction and documentary as it follows Meg, a lively sewer who’s come to live without much ceremony or reason, at the edge of the desert. The true narrative lies in the silent negotiations between memory and the present, through a series of almost unsettling black and white shots of a sewer at work, unpicking, stitching, mending, and patching.
Beam is a portrait of internal change, painted through the thick dust, the dry heat, and the bleached, soft palette of the Broken Hill landscape. It is my manifesto for grace over resolution, texture over structure, and for the seam over the stitch. My manifesto for believing that threads once tangled begin to find their own quiet logic.
