Director's Statement

 

Elephant Palm Tree is a 10 minute short film which takes a look at the West Indian, Black British family in a way we haven’t quite seen before. 

The themes explored in the film include: loneliness within relationships and the sexuality of the older woman – what does it mean to be a woman?  How far down the road of being wife, menopause, mother but not lover does a woman cease to be a woman (or see herself as such)?

With this film, we intend to make something that feels truly new and that touches, moves and inspires.
