There's Gold in that Grass
by Mack Quicke
This film was made in response to a growing sentiment that issues within football are insular - ‘storms in teacups’ - rather than symptons of larger societial problems.
A project made over a couple of weeks exploring ideas of how football and clubs can be vechiles for social change. The film features two clubs: Dulwich Hamlet in South London and Estudiantes in North London. The films story is told through interviewing fans and players of each clubs and how the clubs have helped with things from education to finding a sense of belonging within the world.
The work is an effort to show football in a different way to its traditional coverage. Close angles, pastel colours, delicate sound design and an authentic softness to the stories included. Every creative decision was made to try and further subvert the normal viewing expierence of a piece of football media.
