My debut short film 'Dover 82' is coming out as we are seeing more violence against migrants and refugees.

We feel it’s urgent that the film reaches as wide and diverse an audience as possible, and we need your help.

Your solidarity can make an impact: www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/dover82
A still from the film showing the white cliffs of Dover and the Dover port, with white text that says ‘Dover 82, a film by Aria Danaparamita, an Unfinished production'

✨OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: ‘DOVER 82’✨

i’ve been quietly working on and am excited to share my first ever film, an evocative essay on the border in Dover. 2024 was the deadliest year for Channel crossings. the film is dedicated to those who survived, those who didn’t, and all who struggle in the wake.
poster for ‘Dover 82’. the background image shows the beach in Dover, with the white cliffs to the left and the ferry port to the right. the text says ‘Dover 82, a film by Aria Danaparamita, an Unfinished production’.

welcoming the new year with a nature walk! this year it's Dover to Deal on a frosty but beautifully sunny day 🌊☀️
the white cliffs of Dover and the sea, taken from a path along the cliffs. it's sunny with a a bit of clouds near the horizon. the grass is sandy-coloured, and there's a patch of frost in the foreground. the sea is calm with gentle ripples. a field of green and golden grass atop the cliff near Kingsdown, with the sea in the far background. the sky is open and blue. in the bottom left you can see a shadow of me taking this picture. the sky, sea, and pebbly beach near Deal. the sky is darker now as it nears sundown, but the sky remains blue and clear. the moon appears small hanging above the sea. the beach is in shadow except for a few sunlit slivers. a view of Deal and the sea at sunset, as seen from the pier. the sun is just dipping behind the buildings in the right of the frame while the sky and sea fades from glowing yellow into the bluish shadow of dusk.

screenshot of an instagram post from legendary south london chicken shop morley's. it's literally a slideshow of photos of morley's chicken shops and people in morley's chicken shops. the caption says "the season of joy" with christmas tree emojis. otherwise there is nothing christmassy about it, which is the most joyful thing of all.
