Taking the personal and the political into bleak environs, Watkins’
futuristic chamber piece sees an enforced family reunion unfurl in an
underground shelter next to a nuclear waste station. It’s an unsettling
portrait of a near future. The film screens with a short that sees
pirates and social outcasts fight property developers in a flooded
future East London.
