Open Country by Amaal Said and Historical Tours of the Red House

Experience Open Country by Amaal Said and the Red House, one of its filming locations and William Morris’ house.

Analogue photo of a river shore at dusk. In the foreground, shallow water has receded to reveal wet sand, seaweed, and clusters of small dark ducks like black dots. The river runs bluish in fading light, with a small cargo train on the right. Across the water, cranes, warehouses, power lines, and mounds form an industrial shoreline, lit by white and pinkish lights that reflect on the river. The scene feels quiet, atmospheric, and softly grainy from the analogue film.
