Uncanny Waters

A short film exploring water as a symbol of connection, resistance and transformation.

Discover an inspiring short film capturing an intergenerational LGBTQ+ community project held at Deptford Creekside in May 2025.

The screening will also include behind-the-scenes and performance footage featuring an array of creative costumes and characters inspired by the river.

Uncanny Waters is a community costume and performance project and exhibition brought to life by Heads Bodies Legs collaborative artists Ray Malone and Lu Firth. It features the work of eleven intergenerational participants.

The work explores the theme of Uncanny Waters, using water as a symbol of connection, resistance and transformation.

There are three showings of the film which can be viewed alongside other LGBTQ+ events on the day.
