The weeks have passed since I first viewed 'Your gran is a proper hard nut' (2014) by artist and filmmaker Liam Healy yet it still plays heavily on my mind. Projected on to the wall of a basement studio at Manchester School of Art, this short-looped film showed a young man being both physically and verbally abused by an elderly woman. It immediately initiates strong feelings of discomfort and unease in the viewer.
