A Low is a Meteorological Depression
Inspired by Oliver Bernard's poem 'moons and tides, Walberswick' from 1957 and filmed there, A Low is a Meteorological Depression explores the passage of time through tides and seasons. The sounds come from the location and will be scored over time, a recording of Bernard reading the poem is woven into the visual fabric of the piece.
The poem was written during the waxing of one moon, recording of the central theme of this film will follow the same pattern.
The gravitational pull of the moon and the relationship between weather, lunar influences, light and the mental state of those who are connected to the natural world is central to the film. Interviews with individuals connected to the poem will be recorded over time. (Production starts May 2015)
