This project seeks to archive the practice of haaf net fishing, one of the longest continuously practiced methods of fishing in Scotland, located on the Solway Firth. With this project I wanted the focus to be on the emotional and personal side of the practice, the relationships between the men, the funny stories, and the way of life. The final films were created through a series of interviews with John Warwick and Barry Turner, two of around 30 remaining haaf-netters, using dialogue between the two men, accompanied by a variety of mixed media animations.

The skills and knowledge needed to haaf net are at risk of being lost. More information about the practice can be found at annanhaafnetters.org
