if these walls could talk
directed by anna rodgers

documentary
run time: 13 minutes

if walls can hold memories, what sort of echoes linger in the closed units of our psychiatric institutions as they approach their demise? moving through the corridors, dormitories and day rooms of these decaying spaces, we hear the faint traces of forgotten voices, the people who spent the best part of their lives committed to these asylums. throughout, these people remain invisible, as we move through the empty place of their past.

part of shorts programme one.
