Geo Barcan uses a modified 35mm camera to capture memories of home in a seaside town in her haunting short film Always Come Back To The Sea. Actress Val Sanders revisits key moments of her early life, from her father's piano recitals to her spotlight-stealing younger brother, while still images highlight the merging of memory and imagination.
