8mm colour footage shot on and around the island of Paxos, Greece is juxtaposed with excerpts of black and white found footage from an old 8mm film reel containing views of Tokyo, Japan. A sequence of short colour clips portray a journey from a house in the wooded interior of Paxos to the island's shoreline, and then out into the Ionian sea. They contrast with four, much slowed-down, black and white clips, and a multilayered soundtrack comprising city noise, air conditioning hum and air traffic control chatter. 'After Paxos' alludes to how travel, time and (imperfect) memory, with their abilities to both connect and disconnect us from experiences, can distort our perceptions of place and time; and how modern life can leave us alienated from the natural world.
