Stopped is a documentary about a woman’s redemptive journey of learning to dance again as an older woman and her search for a dancer to teach her. This film will explore how dance can tell stories we sometimes find difficult to put into words and how setting yourself challenges in later life can give us purpose and healing. We will meet inspirational people overcoming challenges on the way. We will meet people for whom dance has been their saviour from all age groups, from the very young to the elderly. What does it mean to be a woman in your late fifties looking towards the next chapter in life? Do we have to define ourselves by success or sexuality or is now the time to just try be happy. What can we, as humans, do to feel alive and vital during these challenging times.
The Dartmoor Cowboy tells the story of the legendary Ross Salmon - a war hero turned cowboy who has just embarked on his next adventure - to establish a successful ranch-style farm on Dartmoor. Taking place in the 1950s, the film is set against the rugged landscape of England's South West - a place where passions, prejudices, hopes and hardships tangle. Recalling the old lore spirit of the Western genre and adding the visual contrast of British traditions - think big sky vistas and cups of tea in the old corral - we follow Ross' struggle to tame the moor, to win the support and acceptance of an inhospitable local community, and to keep his dream alive.
