Dear All,
Apologies for cross-posting!
We are delighted to publish the fourth work of Volume 7, Mark Chapman’s Camrex – an unflinching documentary about Camrex House, a homeless hostel in Sunderland for men with complex histories and untold stories. Drawing on harrowing interviews with hostel residents, Camrex constructs a series of starkly observed portraits both of the men who live there, struggling to come to terms with the past, and of the ghostly hostel itself. A searing portrait of masculinity in the age of austerity, the film’s unapologetic avoidance of the talking head enables a poetic cross-cutting between the textures of the crumbling building and the bodies of the residents themselves. The research statement is exemplary.
