Earth Swimmers

This film attends to the tricks and techniques that mole catchers use to access the underground world of the mole.

Using tools as portals into the mole's vibratory world, probes, feet, noses and rain-making instruments lead the viewer into alternative ways of sensing and knowing the earth.

Made collaboratively by artist Hermione Spriggs and professional molecatcher Nigel Stock.

Commissioned by Sheffield DocFest as part of the DocFest Exchange, with support from Wellcome Trust. This film will screen as part of the compilation Beyond Our Own Eyes.
