In sumptuous poetic images this film gently explores the themes of time, recursivity, loss, and discovery through the experiences of a young woman stranded in, and out of, time and space.

A film about interstitial space and non space. Dealing with the areas between both the times and the places which we intend to inhabit and those where life actually takes place. A diologue with the beauty which is found in the unplanned, uncontrolled, and the unforseen.

At any one time we inhabit many contiguous realities all of which are to a greater or lesser extent plastic, unstable, and iterdependent. The processes of perception which create these realities have no fixed anchor point, they mutate constantly within the influence of both positive and negative feedback loops. We therefore continually recursively reevaluate these contingent, and temporary realities. In order for one door to open, sometimes first another must shut, and loss is the inevitable, if uncomfortable bedfellow of discovery.

Shot entirely on location in Poland this is the first project from the collaboration between Gillian Holt (England/Germany) and Katja Koponen (Finland) with music by international film sound award winner Mark Eden (Australia).

Since it's release in 2006 'Fate amenable to change' has appeared in numerous festivals and exhibitions world wide and has been honoured with "Best experimental film" at the prestigeous 'Cornerhouse Film Festival' in Manchester England in 2006.
