Synopsis

Charting the River Great Ouse from King’s Lynn in Norfolk to the River Cam in Cambridge, to views and movements along the Thames Estuary in Essex, artists Chris Mizsak and Tom Scott explore the flow of waterways through their respective landscapes in the East of England. Shot on digital video and Super 8 film, with found home movie footage and direct animation on 16mm film, Confluence is a merging of streams that reveal a multidimensional sense of time, place, human presence and motion.
