Filmmaker and artist Jessica Bishopp directs this scintillating soft focus imaginative documentary on the salacious connotations of pampas grass. Legend has it that middle class suburban swingers plant the tall feathery plant in their front gardens as a hidden invitation to others. 

Bishopp's film features the voices of women who discuss sexual signalling and suburban subcultures. To bring the rumours surrounding the majestic pampas plant to life, Bishopp enlists model and influencer Naomi Shimada in her acting debut as a playful and sultry 1970s dinner party host.  

Pampas is rich and colourful, featuring mixed media captured on a mixture of 16mm film and digital. The director says, "It was important for me that in order to make this film from a female perspective on sexuality that the only face we fully see is Naomi’s, the main character.

"I hope the audience take away humour from the film, but also an unquenched curiosity for the suburban myth, that relationships can have multiplicity and also an inkling that there’s more than meets the eye in suburbia."
