Tess Brady candidly reflects on ageing – on death, life and the future – now that she is over 70. Her story is one shared by many older women and is poignant for younger women thinking about their own ageing processes.

Expect Delays (2018)
Expect Delays experiments with John Grierson’s idea of ‘co-operative characters’: no one character is central to the story. In Expect Delays humans and machines work together to destroy, rest, and then create our world.
