Look Then Below

While Ben Rivers is often understood to be a cinematic chronicler of land and sea, working mostly in the realist tradition, there has always been a thrumming energy throughout his work that points toward the surreal, the uncanny, or even the post-human. Ben Rivers’ third collaboration with writer Mark von Schlegell, takes this tendency to its outer reaches. An exploration of the Wookey Hole caves in Somerset, this film infuses recognizable forms – rock, water, and air – with a hallucinatory neon glow. (Michael Sicinski)
