of time and the city

Just saw a trailer for Terence Davies’ latest Film, Of Time and the City. It looks like a documentary masterpiece, where Davies returns to his hometown of Liverpool, creating both a love song and a eulogy to it. As described in a review, “it is a response to memory, reflection and the experience of losing a sense of place as the skyline changes and time takes it’s toll. Terence Davies returnes to his native liverpool and to his film making roots to caputure a sense of the City today and its influences on him growning up in the late 40’s and early 50’s.”

Go and watch this trailer! I hate that WP won’t let me embed anymore but am working out the snafus with that. As I have been spending a better portion of the past year looking into my past and material from long ago, it is wonderful to see an award winning documentary doing just that. I can’t wait to go see how Davies achieves this bringing back of the past and meshing it with the future. I have been sitting at a standstill within my work for the past couple of months of so, but after see a trailer like this and looking at work such as John Folson [below image], I am finally beginning to get energized and excited again.
