Hemel (2024)

Hemel is an intimate portrait of Hemel Hempstead, where Danielle Dean was raised, and unfolds as a personal essay on the town’s history as a planned community under the New Towns Act of 1946. Filmed in 16mm with an ensemble of non-actors and family, Hemel blurs fiction and documentary and to considers the race, class, and labour dynamics of a small English town in the post-Brexit context.
