Thames Flow is a 5-7 minute experimental documentary that explores the River Thames as a living, breathing entity that shapes London's identity. Blending observational footage with poetic voiceover and a dynamic soundscape, the film will follow the river's course from sunrise at Richmond to sunset at the Thames Barrier, weaving together stories of the people who live, work, and create along its banks. The creative vision is to portray the Thames not just as a backdrop but as a central character—its tides, light, and movement mirroring the city's pulse. What makes this project unique is its hyper-local focus and collaborative approach: we'll engage with local artists, fishermen, and historians to capture authentic moments, resulting in a film that is both a visual poem and a social document.
