This Blessed Plot (This Blessed Plot)

When Lori, a young Chinese filmmaker, arrives in the small English village of Thaxted looking for her next film, she discovers it’s a place where the dead surround the living and the border between the two is easily crossed. Her landlady Maggie introduces her to the village church and Lori becomes fascinated with long dead Socialist Vicar, Conrad Noel, who speaks to her from beyond the grave.  And he’s not the only one. The forces of past and present, light and dark, play out and Lori and her film characters are forced to confront their haunted lives. This Blessed Plot is a tale of love, loss and betrayal where experimental hybrid filmmaking and archive breaks down the borders between the past and present and documentary and fiction, remaining outside conventional industrial film production structures.
