Robin Hayward – exploring the micro-sounds of a tuba, filling slowly with sand.

A chorister attempting to sing Vivaldi, with live accompaniment, while trampolining for 20 minutes.
One of the great experimental films. A 60 minute, three part riddle that maybe approximates our intellectual development by moving from imageless words to the recognition of silent images and the learning of simple tasks and finally a serenity and acceptance of death.

Includes: solar flares, insect fireworks, a new film from Ian Helliwell, pulsating glaciers, an apple being eaten alive, sea ravaged stock, crushed blackberries and film that has literally risen from the grave.
