lost for words

Hannah Papacek Harper’s wonderful engagement with the English language is a lyrical and visually rapturous journey around the UK. Inspired by Robert Macfarlane and Jackie Morris’s beloved book The Lost Words, it is a response to the disappearance of nature-related words from the Oxford Junior Dictionary. With nature as its central character, the film explores how language shapes our relationship with the environment. Lost for Words is a hopeful rallying cry to reawaken our senses and to forge compassionate bonds with the world we live in.
