Between 2002 and 2004 artist-filmmaker Joe Magee worked with young people from Knowle West resulting in three award-winning short films.

Shot on digital video, the imagery has been heavily manipulated and graphically colourised, with Magee creating an experimental soundtrack for each film.

Each film features a character suffering some form of alienation and addictive behaviour: Gearhead presents a day in the life of a heroin addict. Fruit Loop looks at the problems associated with a fruit machine obsession.
Clot explores how a clean living teenager is detached from his peers and ultimately questioning what constitutes 'normal' behaviour.

In 2004 Gearhead won the Film Council First Light Best Film Award.
