A Year in a Field

BAFTA-winning documentarian Christopher Morris reflects upon human  existence, its relationship to the environment and the urgent need for  compassion and transformation in this elegiac, meditative film.  Weathering the elements in the centre of a field in West Cornwall is the  Longstone, a natural relic that has quietly witnessed 4,000 years of  tumultuous history. Morris’s film records a year in the long life of  this monolith, beginning on Winter Solstice 2020, as the effects of  climate change around the globe become more and more vivid a reality.  Beautifully shot, with a richly layered sound design, the film meditates  on the passage of time through its appreciation of nature, highlighting  the subtle shifts of the seasons, and the need to act to conserve these  delicate ecosystems amid the man-made forces assailing our planet.
