The results [of Julia’s residency] were among the highlights of this year’s Alchemy Film and Moving Image Festival. The gala Saturday night screening was the world premiere of a quartet of films Parks made around the Borders, exploring themes of nature, industry, folk traditions and community. All four are wonderfully evocative and gorgeous thanks to Parks’ tactile 16mm photography. The best was also the longest: the poetic documentary The Wool Aliens, which explores the way that the once booming textile industry of the Borders has significantly changed its natural habitat.
