52docs / 25 - Hungry ghosts

With our 25th film in 2026 we get a lovely bingo card to check on progress.

Following the nature theme let’s make like migratory crabs and head to Easter Christmas Island where director Gabrielle Brady explores hybrid filmmaking (maybe an altogether more honest way of describing most documentaries?).

Take a moment to read this piece which shows the depth of her ongoing collaboration with a central figure in the film. It reminds me of wise words from Uncle Werner, and the search for truth versus facts.

If it leaves you wanting more decapods in your life, may I recommend The Crab Museum in Margate.
