ON BELONGING

WATCH THE TRAILER

Filmed during four woodland walks through Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn.

By looking backwards we can also look forward. The films offer a meditation on the cycles of life, to find a sense of belonging.

The walks lead North, South, East and West. There is an exchange between the woods and the humans, a seeing and being seen, sensing and being sensed.

WIINTER

6.30am-9.30am - Winter offers a season of stillness, introspection and deep growth movements. A full moon sets on a rare frost-clad landscape, slowly giving way to the warmth of the rising sun. 

SPRING

9.30am-12.30pm - Spring embraces Imbolc, and a sense of renewal as insects scuttle about, streams flow freely and light returns.

SUMMER

12.30pm-3.30pm - Summer brings a time of confused understandings, uncertainties and not knowing. Criss-cross layers of light, dark, life and decay dancing around huge rising oaks. 

AUTUMN

3.30pm-6.30pm - Autumn closes its thinning veil marked by amber ferns and an embrace of endings and transformation.
