Centred on sphagnum moss, Translocations highlights the mutual aid and reciprocal exchange that exists between species in the restoration of a lowland peatbog. Featuring the voice of ecologist and author Robin Wall Kimmerer, the film documents the human and more-than-human life, energies and actions that are transforming an intensively farmed and damaged terrestrial environment back into a flourishing wetland habitat.
The film was made at Little Woolden Moss nature reserve, in Chat Moss, Lancashire. The score responds to this wetland landscape, and was recorded with various acoustic instruments such as harmonium, banjo and balalaika, as well as analogue synthesizer and found objects. The soundtrack also includes field recordings from Little Woolden, and underwater recordings by Tracy Hill with Phill Phelps.
