Paraffin

In this short documentary directed by Rowena Wyles, we dive into an event that happens every year on the 5th of November in the England. The residents of a small town in Devon set fire to barrels of tar, heave them on to their backs, and launch themselves through crowds of people. Featuring Aidan Pearcy and Sam Pugh Paraffin explores this tradition from the perspective of two of the town’s younger participants.
