An essay film exploring my experiences in the Labour Party and political activism from 2015 to 2017. This film is by the left and for the left.
It covers the rise of the far right, Mark Fisher's capitalist realism, the rise of Jeremy Corbyn, attending anti-war marches, attacks from the establishment & the role of journalism, the effects of austerity and deindustrialisation on my home town, marxism & socialism, local election defeats and finally ending with the snap election of 2017.
Inspired by the films of Chris Marker, John Akomfrah, Werner Herzog, Patrick Keiller, Laura Poitras, Jean-Luc Godard and Mark Cousins.

“The Memes of Production: Look, it cannot be seen - it is beyond form...” - The Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu, https://terebess.hu/english/tao/gia.html
“The wave and the water. There are two dimensions to life, and we should be able to touch both. One is like a wave, and we call it the “historical dimension.” The other is like the water, and we call it the “ultimate dimension,” or “nirvana.” We usually touch just the wave, but when we discover how to touch the water, we receive the highest fruit that meditation can offer.” - Thích Nhat Hanh, Your True Home

“The Memes of Production as a mass of sounds held together through resonance. Everything alive, atoms, cells, the Earth’s core, oceans, plants, animals and humans, the seen and the unseen, all creating a complex orchestration… the Earth as a being of sound. The Earth within the cosmos, the cosmos a vibrating orchestration with a resonance so complex and deep we hear nothing and are engulfed by a vast and tender silence.” - Michael Stearns

It explores the approach we took to social media and the different types of videos we made, to help spread Labour's message, whilst the mainstream media was so relentlessly hostile.
The final couple of minutes of it could be used as art installation on repeat 24 hours a day.
I also look back on our announcement video for his candidacy and ponder whether "left-wing nationalism/patriotism" is a viable or effective thing for the left to embrace (it isn't).
Music: Harry Pepe & RhucleJohn McDonnell visits Derby, May 14th 2017,Fishbeast Productions2019-06-29 | May 14th, 2017. We were waiting in the pouring rain for John McDonnell to arrive in Derby. It was a gathering of local councillors, party members, activists and members of the public, all waiting to see the shadow chancellor of the exchequer.
Patiently we waited and waited, getting soaked through. The month of may had been characterised by stress, exhaustion, anxiety, fear, anger, terror, hope and anticipation. The stakes are so high in this election. All of us knew that a Tory landslide would be catastrophic.
Music: In AtomsJeremy Corbyn Press Conference, Newark, April 4th 2017Fishbeast Productions2019-06-29 | April 4th, 2017. Jeremy is in Newark, Nottinghamshire, for the national launch of Labour’s local election campaign.
Journalists use their large media platforms to attack progressive movements, to undermine them, treat them with disdain and to help maintain the status quo. Filming here today meant I could see this happening in real time.
They defer to powerful interests and reflect their beliefs, and do not accurately report on many aspects of ordinary people’s lives. And the effect of this is that many members of the general public simply do not trust journalists or the mainstream media at all.
Music: Marc ConstantineLocal Election Defeats, May 2017Fishbeast Productions2019-06-29 | May 5th, 2017. The results are in for the local elections and it’s a disaster for Labour. Nationally the Tories won 563 seats and took control of 11 councils. Labour lost 382 seats and control of 7 councils, including Derbyshire.
Music: In AtomsAcid Communism / Acid CorbynismFishbeast Productions2019-06-29 | Acid Communism: I have often thought that the cinematic image has an immense power and intensity, which could be utilised to far greater effect to indoctrinate audiences with socialist propaganda and raise class consciousness.
Music: RhucleMark Fishers Capitalist Realism & Austerity BritainFishbeast Productions2019-06-29 | Austerity Britain; volatile, bleak and stagnant. The Tory’s economic program is choking the life out of the country.
“The old world is dying and the new world struggles to be born; now is the time of monsters.” – Antonio Gramsci
There is a pervasive sense of hopelessness and futility. Endless corruption goes unpunished and nothing changes. The system tells us that not only is this the best it has ever been, but the best that will ever be.
Mark Fisher called this “Capitalist Realism”. It tells us it's futile to try to imagine an alternative to capitalism. For 40 years it aggressively policed the boundaries of our collective imagination, for what could be considered politically possible. The flattening and deadening of our expectations and horizons.
Music: Film 001 by Harry Pepe Axis by Chilli The Cat The Rain At The Right Time by DialectJeremy Corbyn In Matlock, December 2016Fishbeast Productions2019-06-29 | December 7th, 2016. Britain has voted to leave the EU. Labour MP Jo Cox has been murdered by a member of the far right and David Cameron has resigned.
Jeremy is in Matlock for the launch of the County Council elections in May, 2017.
It has been a chaotic 16 months. Jeremy has seen off Owen Smith and the attempted coup, but the damage is done. Labour's position in the polls drop significantly and Jeremy's personal ratings suffer hugely.
Music by Reality Goggles2017 General Election ResultFishbeast Productions2019-06-08 | “The long, dark night of the end of history has to be grasped as an enormous opportunity. The very oppressive pervasiveness of capitalist realism means that even glimmers of alternative political and economic possibilities can have a disproportionately great effect. The tiniest event can tear a hole in the grey curtain of reaction. From a situation in which nothing can happen, suddenly anything is possible again.” - Mark Fisher
Music: In Atoms.Short Film - A Few DaysFishbeast Productions2018-09-29 | A Few Days is an observational three-handed character piece. Alex and Tim were inseparable at university, but when Tim comes to stay several years later, they seem to have developed irreconcilable differences. This film explores universal ideas of friendship, the passage of time, getting older, and sticking to your convictions versus selling out.
