On Tender Hooks

Kate Shenton’s debut feature-length documentary, *On Tender Hooks*, explores the intriguing and rarely-seen world of human suspension. Over the course of a year, Shenton closely follows several individuals and groups who engage in this practice. Every Sunday, participants pierce their skin with hooks to hang suspended mid-air, pushing the limits of physical endurance and challenging conventional perceptions. The documentary adopts a fly-on-the-wall perspective, showcasing how ordinary bodies can accomplish truly extraordinary feats. Documenting events from London, as well as locations in Rico, Croatia, and Oslo, Norway, the film presents a wide range of experiences and viewpoints, offering thoughtful insights into a misunderstood practice. Filmed and edited by Shenton herself, *On Tender Hooks* stands as a testament to pure independent filmmaking. It’s here for you.
