Lucy Raven’s film work Murderers Bar (2025) captures the removal of a dam in the Pacific Northwest and the dramatic release of water that takes the form of a newly born river as it rushes from Oregon through Northern California on its way to the Pacific Ocean. The 42-minute piece is the final part of a trilogy titled “The Drumfire,” which also includes the 2021 film Ready Mix, a meditation on processes involved in making concrete at a plant in Idaho, and the 2022 films Demolition of a Wall (Album 1 & 2), which focus on shockwaves visible in the air at an explosives testing range in New Mexico.
