| Send Me from Ramanik Dweep (Extra Footage)
Part Two of the Ramanik Dweep Series about the Naag (Snake) shrines of Fiji Islands. Filmed between 2021-2022 this episode asks more questions about the connection between Fiji Water, the Vatukoula Gold Mines and the Kaliya caves of Nakauvadra - sacred places that hold dangerous curses, where apparently the English King Charles III visited in the 1970's. This second episode combines footage from the 'Ghost Ships of Suva' and the remaining Electronic Shrines of Ambala, made by the director as they were leaving Fiji after a three year stay during the Covid era.

The Liquid Supermarket-- A journey through Boeng Trabaek channel which runs through south end of the city of Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Filmed and edited by Dr Emit Snake-Beings over the two months spent crossing 'stink canal' on a daily basis, whilst staying in the city January - February 2019. At the southern most part of the city the canal becomes a catchment area for the plastic floating down with the sewage and waste water of Phnom Penh. Metal cages keep the plastic within the boundaries of the city whilst allowing the water to pass under a road and out into the countryside to the Mekong river. The people living at the southern end of Boeng Trabaek channel gather and sell the many water snails that thrive in the nearby swamps and wetlands. The repetitive sound of the snail seller's motorbike mounted loud hailer can be heard on the soundtrack of the film, mixed in with other sounds recorded in the streets during the time in Phnom Penh.
