ON BELONGING
WATCH THE TRAILER
Filmed during four walks through the Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn of ancient Sussex woodlands.
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
Walking from 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
Walking from 9.30am-12.30pm - Spring embraces Imbolc, and a sense of renewal as insects scuttle about, streams flow freely and light returns.
SUMMER
Walking from 12.30pm-3.30pm - Summer brings a time of heat, confusion, and not knowing. Criss-cross layers of light, dark, life and decay dance around huge rising oaks.
AUTUMN
Walking from 3.30pm-6.30pm - Autumn closes its thinning veil marked by amber ferns and an embrace of endings and transformation.
