A compelling exploration of engineless sailing, shot on analogue film over three years. The film delves into the experiences of those who travel solely by harnessing
the natural elements alone, following a diverse array of
traditional boats and uncovering the unique rhythms and
motivations of engineless navigation.
Journeying through rivers, coastlines, and open seas, spanning the UK, the Netherlands, and France, Wind, Tide and Oar creates a contemplative space, addressing themes of ecology, heritage, traditional skills, and maritime history. Using a 1960s hand-wound camera, Wahl offers a poetic and intimate perspective on a millennia-old craft, upended by the invention of mechanised power.
These screenings are kindly sponsored by At Sea Studio in George Street, a new shop bringing you sustainable gifts and sea-related art.
