The Persistent Seed
196414 min 18 secFilm: Documentary
Direction: Christopher Chapman
Production: Hugh O'ConnorTom Daly
A film by Christopher Chapman, known for his lyrical films of countryside and wilderness. He turns his colour camera on the growing city and there finds cheering proof that despite concrete and bulldozer, the persistent seed prevails. The film is without commentary and the camera work is a constant delight, for Chapman has the gift of catching life smiling wherever he may look. Film without words.
