BROADSIDE

  • Jack Turner

I wanted to capture the sport of speedway in a way that felt raw and powerful. A visual collision of metal and dirt. Shot across two different 16mm film stocks and combined with hand-crafted animation this short film was about grit. Sound is a massive part of the sporting experience, with several roaring engines hurtling around a small circuit in as little as 60 seconds. These bikes have no brakes. It was important to me to humanise the fearless riders - their contributions were invaluable. Watch with sound and thank you to all of the people below who gave their time and skill to this project so generously.
