Stone

Stone is a film that meticulously studies the journey of Portland Stone from the cathedral sized mine to the delicate and precision polishing of a finished block. Portland Stone is a historic building material, used since Roman times, reserved for the grandest buildings in London.

Icons such as St Paul’s Cathedral, Buckingham Palace, and the Bank of England, and even crossing the Atlantic to construct the United Nations headquarters in New York.

Mined only in one specific area of the UK on the island of Portland on the Jurassic Coast, Portland Stone is famous for its raw beauty, durability and texture.
