Elegantly compiled from wordless black and white archive footage, Trains is a sweeping history of people, industry and conflict in twentieth century Europe, all focussed on one piece of life changing technology - the locomotive.

From vast industrial assemblies of steam engines to excited passengers chugging through beautiful scenery, the film takes a darker turn through the repurposed war machines of the century’s great conflicts. The film makes a mesmerising, uniquely cinematic journey.

"A timeless, thought-provoking work of great formal beauty.,.. it gradually establishes a hold on its audience, and a vision of the century’s dreams and nightmares." — Lee Marshall, Screen Daily
