Paul Howard and David Matthews were a part of The Lock-Up’s 2009 residency program, visiting from the UK to research and develop their collaborative film project AquaVoltaic. They return four years later to present the film, a story about the commercial use and abuse of water and a satire of globalisation and popular culture.
