Le Projet Familial (2020) "captures the Demailly's who have lived in the same area of Paris for over a century. Filmmaker Peter Bromley films the lives of this working class family at a time of political, social and cultural changes in French society. His film asks what does it mean to be French today? Bromley's beautiful observational film is a welcome change to most agenda heavy documentaries, it was awarded Best Feature Documentary at Tokyo International Film Festival. I can see why, it's a real treat to watch and so insightful to everyday French life" David Somerset, British Film Institute
"Peter Bromley's On the Somme (2012) is about memory, landscape and the sense of absence which dominates the localities which were touched by the Battle of the Somme. The Project attempts to record the journeys made by those who took part in the battle and the subsequent visits made by others since. Attempting to understand what was experienced by those locked in five months of intense fighting is difficult, if not impossible... The Project attempts to create a series of metaphors for these complex experiences through the contemporary use of photography, film and sound, alongside a walking of the 'Somme' as it exists in the present-day landscape" For me the fact that the 'Somme Project' exhibition at the LightBox Gallery ends in Liverool after it's journey holds even more meaning" Claude Moureau Bondy - Positif Paris
