Oyster Land is a film that spends time with the oystermen of Mersea Island, Essex and explores the ancient oyster culture of the city of Colchester.

It’s an atmospheric journey of working on the waters of an estuary that has sustained a local trade for thousands of years.

 


Q&A with Matthew John Harrison – Filmmaker

Born and raised in historic Essex, Matthew studied film at Norwich University of the Arts and upon his return to his rural upbringing around Colchester, he found himself enthralled by the timeless traditions of the Blackwater oystermen.
