Short film exploring the collective search for self through the notion of “home”, commissioned by Channel 4


A short documentary film inspired by a philosophical monologue from Joe McGarry, the former Director of development at homeless charity Arlington House.

The film explores our collective sense of belonging through audio-visual poem that illustrates Joe’s journey of finding his home within and features the track “Sublime 01″ by composer Michael Nyman.

The audio interview was originally made by Rob Rainbow for the Domestic Archaeology exhibition at the Geffrye Museum.
