Dir<\/strong>: Boris Thompson-Roylance,<\/p>\n

Genre<\/strong>: Documentary<\/p>\n

The Land Remains places Britain\u2019s renewed interest in folklore and ritual in dialogue with the Bibby Stockholm asylum barge, exploring how land, migration, and belonging shape national identity today. Across a year, director Boris Thompson Roylance spent a year filming pre-christian traditions and sacred sites across the country. Pagan practices, aligned with the calendar wheel, structured around the solstices, equinoxes, and seasonal thresholds. Alongside this, Boris spent a year documenting the Bibby Stockholm Barge in Portland, Dorset, which housed hundreds of male asylum seekers. The filmmaker saw the Barge as a symbol of the previous Government’s hostile environment.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Land\u00a0Remains\u00a0examines how folklore and the rising tide of nationalism collide within a divided nation, revealing how belonging continues to shape national identity today.<\/p>\n

A powerful convergence of two themes – migration, and connection to the\u00a0land\u00a0– with a powerful manifesto for divided times “we are a migrant nation”.<\/p>\n

The film features many prominent voices in the folk community, including folk singer and song collector Sam Lee and alchemist and apothecarist Charlotte Pulver.<\/p>\n

Boris Thompson-Roylance is a visual artist, director, and co-founder of the multi-award-winning production company Deadbeat Studios. Working across documentary, fiction, and installation, his work explores identity, ecology, folklore, and subculture, often situating contemporary tensions within wider cultural and historical contexts.<\/p>\n
