Wide screen.
A meditative, immersive film by Tindersticks' Stuart A. Staples is a tribute to the astonishing work and achievements of naturalist, inventor and pioneering British filmmaker F. Percy Smith (1880-1945). Based in a studio in north London in the early years of the twentieth century, Percy Smith developed the use of time-lapse, animation and microphotographie techniques to capture nature's secrets in action. An interpretative work combines Smith's original film footage with a new contemporary score by Tindersticks with Thomas Belhom and Christine Ott. It creates a hypnotic, alien yet familiar dreamscape that connects us to the sense of wonder Smith must have felt as he peered through his own lenses and saw these micro worlds for the first time.
