Presence

Presence

A film by Kerry Francksen & Laura McGregor

In Presence we encounter the moving body within the landscape.

There is on arrival, a stirring. A sense of play; of searching – being allowed close. Moving in response to the environment, dynamic shifts in light and wind gently stirs an awakening. Observing. Hearing what is often unseen, and unheard. The poetry of place, intimacy of spaces, a mycelian depth to the sound.

Ageing manifests the power of experience and transformation of ability. What will the body be capable of, what will emerge?

There’s no need to rush.

The visceral effort of the body underpinned by arhythmic sounds from the understorey, and the presence of landscape through the melody of birdsong; the wind in the overstorey
