Adventure Playground, London

A film about recreation and learning, made during the Cantrills’ four-year residence in London, similarly tinctured by Herbert Read’s notions about children’s education as self-directed, creative, and free. The adventure playground, where activities are built around tall forest trees, provides a space in which children can shape and reimagine the environment according to their own sense of play. A non-narrative film blending music and playground noises in its soundtrack.
