An Occurrence Of Birds
Occurrence Of Birds is the second film to be made as part of our 5 X 5 / 7 project. This project involves us making five films with five people over seven days.
In this film we set out to discover illustrator Matt Sewell’s interest and love of birds and why he draws them. The moving image is constructed entirely from still images taken in “bursts” creating an effect that evokes early film qualities.
The soundtrack is created from a recording of Matt’s vinyl collection of bird sounds and an interview. The finished film is the result of 14 hours continuous work from inception to completion. -
…Thatcher was a prime minister who denounced Nelson Mandela as a terrorist, defended the Chilean fascist dictator Augusto Pinochet, ratcheted up the cold war, and unleashed militarised police on trade unionists and black communities alike.
She was Britain’s first woman prime minister, but her policies hit women hardest, like Cameron’s today.
She was the most socially destructive prime minister of modern times.

Why libertarians must deny climate change, in one short take.
So here we have a simple and coherent explanation of why libertarianism is so often associated with climate change denial, and the playing down or dismissal of other environmental issues.
Libertarianism becomes self-defeating as soon as it recognises the existence of environmental issues. So they must be denied.

Weathered and Forgotten

In the same way that time decays your memories of times past, the weather and the environment can physically decay objects in much the same way, be that by corrosive weather conditions or erosive strong sunlight.
Back in 2010 I placed a random selection of photo prints up on the wall of my back garden with the aim of seeing how they would decay in that environment over a period of 12 months.

In this technologically triumphant age, when the rockets begin to scream up towards the moon but the human mind seems at an even greater distance, anger has a limited use.
Love has a wider application, and it is that which needs describing wherever it can be found so that we may all recognise it and learn its use.

Spiritual practice is a lot closer to art than science
I’ll continue to defend spiritual belief, as long as it’s recognised by the practitioner to be a subjective and experiential phenomenon, not one that is amenable to objective proof within the scientific arena, and one whose historical antecedents are recognised.
In summary, to aim at a degree of epistemological precision, I may claim that I believe, but I cannot claim that I know.
