High Art - a documentary about artist Shelley Hocknell

The activity of climbing is routinely associated with the frenetic world of extreme sports programmes. Shelley Hocknell is an artist who uses her in-depth knowledge of this sport to commit to canvas what she sees and feels. Following Shelley to Fontainebleau this film captures her working on location in preparation for a forthcoming collection and explores her motivation and inspiration.
