CURRENT AND FORTHCOMING PROJECTS
THE SILENT ACCOMPLICE
Silent Accomplice is an unusual feature film project written and directed by Erik Knudsen in collaboration with Duncan Thomas. Set in rural and urban Britain, this is an intimate snap shot of contemporary urban life, as seen through the perspective of people's interaction with water. Episodic and peripatetic in construction, and poetically blending fiction and documentary, the narrative weaves its way in and out of specific people's lives to reveal an urban Britain with hidden disparities and aspirations.

Erik Knudsen has signed an agreement to co-author, with Wilma de Jong and Jerry Rothwell from the University of Sussex, a book on creative documentary practice for Pearson Publishing. The book is due for completion in 2009, though we do not yet know when the publication date is.
