WORK
HOSPITALFIELD X CREATIVE RECOVERY INVERCLYDE
Residency


Hospitalfield, Arbroath, Scotland
2025Three-night residency at Hospitalfield, funded by Creative Scotland, as part of Creative Recovery Inverclyde. The residency provided dedicated time and space to develop our next short film, exploring themes of mental health, recovery, and anxiety. Access to a prestigious residency like Hospitalfield is rare, and it is particularly significant for marginalised groups to have the opportunity to work in professional creative spaces. The experience offered intensive collaborative filmmaking, with the group treated as actors and the residency treated as a professional workspace. The confidence and growth within the group during this time was astonishing.

We have received 18 months of funding to continue this work, building towards a larger event during Recovery Month in September 2026 at the Wyllieum.

Creative Degrowth Scotland ELINA BRY is French/Finnish, Glasgow based multidisciplinary artist and award-winning filmmaker. They work across video, storytelling and live performance, and is interested at listening to and re-staging the malfunctions of the human body. They are curious about the body as a sentient arena; as a responsive tool and as a protagonist of an everyday drama. By that, they investigate the known, model it and work in collaboration with the instability of their body. It is essential that they don't cause any harm as they want to challenge their body with the everyday, in order to give a stage and witness what is already there.
The thematic undercurrents of ecology and slow travel prominently weave through their artistic endeavours. Through their multidisciplinary approach, they seek to unravel the nuanced interplay between the human form and its environment, exploring the intricacies of the body while maintaining a conscientious connection to ecological and sustainable principles.
