Abstract

Children of the soil is a short film that emerged from a practice of falling slowly to the ground. It uses text and still and moving images in a sequence of graphic-novel-like panels to explore the slow work of growth, gravity and decay. I like to think that the film might act as a gentle reminder that each of us is always becoming earth and soil for our human — and other-than-human — ancestors.
