Experiencing Interruptions?

Wings

Swansea, Wales, a mother dances and yearns for transcendence from human pain. Evocative, angelic, cosmic inter-plays of earth, fire and water, as she actions and beckons vital life; creativity and desire in the deathly dusk.

Director Statement

Creating the film "Wings" was an opportunity to work with poet, writer and dance artist Guinevere Clark, a fellow postgraduate in creative writing, on a collaboration based upon her celestial-oriented poem Wings. The production was fortunate to have another poet and writer, also a fellow PhD student in Creative Writing, Gemma June Howell, to provide cinematography for the short film. It is quite tricky to make a film during a lockdown, with the necessity of social distancing, on a zero budget, yet what humans dream they may do. The poem and film "Wings" both illustrate access to the otherworldly; there are liminal spaces humans may traverse, and reach the transcendent, from here in the earthly middle world.
