Fae the Rigs: Revisited is a short documentary that combines original photography, archive footage, and audio interviews to explore the social impact that North Sea oil work exerts on its workforce and their families.

The film builds on the poetic approaches to found footage utilised in “Mirrored Transitions“, which was presented at Energy Ethics 2023: Financing the Future at the Byre Theatre. Fae the Rigs expands on these techniques with original stills photography and interviews to create a poetic yet confessional short film. Featuring testimonies from union leaders, fathers and female voices, the documentary weaves together recurring stories to explore the shared experiences and themes of isolation, guilt and identity, offering a deeply personal reflection on life within the industry.
