A Year in the Field

The story of one Cornish field told over one climatic year. Winter Solstice 2020: with his camera and tripod, BAFTA winning documentary filmmaker Christopher Morris began filming each day in a field near his home. “I’ve never glued my hand to a road, or strapped myself to a tree and I’ve never been on a climate protest march but once in a lifetime natural disasters are happening more than once in my lifetime and I’ve got to do something…” A quiet, unnoticed, one-man vigil, a direct-action of stillness. He stopped filming on Winter Solstice 2021: a year that UN Secretary-General António Guterres, said was “make or break” for humanity to confront the climate crisis. “I struggle to comprehend what I am being told.”.gptfims.com
