'Cast' was made during a residency at Künstlerhaus Schloss Balmoral in the Rhineland-Palatinate region of Germany. The residency involved living in a castle for six months with nine other artists from around the world, in a small spa town that had been frequented by writers in its turn of the century heyday. The castle looks down on a tributary of the Rhine and up towards the cause of the small town's former popularity, a sanatorium perched on the top of a wooded hill. Cast contains a story from the point of view of a daughter being told a story by her mother. The tale is of a man who continually forgets. As it develops it becomes clear that the mother remembers only parts of the story and the daughter only parts of its re-telling. The film was shot in the UK (Berwick and London) and in Germany (Bad Ems, Künstlerhaus Schloss Balmoral) based on sources watched or read during the residency. Scenes are appropriated from the work of others who explore memory and forgetting such as Federico Fellini’s ‘Amacord’ (1973), Hollis Frampton’s ‘Nostalgia’ (1971), Jorge Luis Borges’ ‘The Aleph’ (1970) and Thomas Mann’s ‘The Magic Mountain' (1924).
