Coral Reef is a short documentary film looking at the last 20 years of the station. Directed by Robert J. Hunter, the documentary tracks the oral history of the rich and vibrant community of tech nerds, genre geeks and party fanatics which have inhabited the station over the years.

Accompanied by an original score by Arm Watches Fingers the film portrays a unique and delicate ecosystem which has developed at the heart of Glasgow's cultural landscape. By exploring the lore of the station through interviews with some the stations contributors from the past 20 years, it paints a picture of this essential microclimate; embracing the unique creatures, and weird fish which reside within.

Coral Reef illustrates how the station although not without its moments of controversy and naivety has built a sandbox for ideas and creative individuals. Ultimately, this film embraces the story of Subcity, and what can happen when creative and passionate people are given just a small portion of the means of production.
