MONSTERS |
Andy Field + Beckie Darlington

MONSTERS is a film project made in collaboration with school children from across East Anglia, creating a fictional documentary that will use the familiar tropes of Hollywood monster movies as a way for young people to reckon with ecological change. The film will screen in Ipswich as part of SPILL Festival 2025.

Take a look at the ICA Memories website to view the exhibition materials, and submit your own.
