A nature reserve on the English Channel is a place of wonder and solace, shaped and haunted by violence. A sensitive look at life on a pebble beach reclaimed from the ocean, HEADLAND interweaves the age-old tradition of sea rescues with contemporary migrant crossings, as witnessed by the last of the Dungeness fishermen. The film is a camera-on-land perspective on migratory movements, as opposed to the water, where people seeking safety face life-altering journeys.

‘S e àite làn iontais agus sòlais a th’ ann an tèarmain nàdair air Caolas na Frainge. Tha e air a chruthachad agus a’ tathachadh le ainneartas. Tha HEADLAND a’ fighe an seann traidisean de teasargainnean mara cuide ri croisean imrich an latha an-diugh. ‘S e beatha air mol air a thoirt air ais on chuan, mar a chunnaic am fear mu dheireadh de na h-iasgairean à Dungeness, a tha an sealladh mothachail seo. ‘S e prospaig càmara-air-tìr air gluasadan imrich a tha am film, an aghaidh uisge, anns a bheil daoine a’ sireadh sàbhailteachd a’ dèiligeadh ri tursan a dh’atharraicheas am beatha.
