Nominated for a Berlin Commercial Award
Born from a desire to create together in spite of circumstance, 11 international filmmakers collaborated virtually to build a statement of fear, persistence and hope. “We Shall Not Return” makes a case for a better tomorrow, one that works for all of humanity, not just the few.
The film started out as a singular, deeply personal exploration of fear for our collective future, and a reaction to the idea of ‘returning to normal’. It became a testament to the will of creativity. A beautiful collaboration between a group of filmmakers across Canada and the UK, executed whilst working remotely, in isolation and observing regional lockdown rules during Covid-19.
We shall not return, we shall only move forwards.
Written, Directed & Edited by Stuart Langfield
