The performance 'New Releases' focuses primarily on the difference between how film is experienced and how it is described. That is, rarely is a film described by reference to camera angles, lighting, location and all the aesthetic nuances which the makers may concern themselves with. Rather it is described as Wayne Lloyd performs it. This performance refers to our own social interaction. Performing at a location in the heart of a rural community, he is reminding us of the cultural isolation of such rural communities where films cannot be seen.

Built in 1931 on land donated by Mr Hinch, a farmer who raised money from local football matches towards the building project, the hall was given a life expectancy of 25–30 years. Over 70 years later the Village Hall remains at the centre of this small community's activities.

Ten years ago it was decided no further money should be spent on the upkeep of the hall, since the structure, built on fenland was becoming unsound. The community has since been actively raising finances towards the building of a new village hall.
