A Year In The Field with Christopher Morris | Picturehouse

Felicity Beckett speaks to director Christopher Morris about our latest Green Screen film, A Year In The Field, coming to select Picturehouse Cinemas soon! 

From Winter Solstice 2020 to Winter Solstice 2021, a string of unprecedented worldwide climate disasters, met by weak global political resolve, are revealed as fleeting moments under the ever-present, unflinching granite gaze of the Longstone: an ancient monolith that has stood sentinel in a Cornish field for millennia.

Part provocation, part meditation, part invocation, BAFTA-winning documentarian Christopher Morris’ A Year In A Field invites us to slow down as he films for twelve months in the Longstone's field. As the wheel of the year turns, Morris’ 'eco-sophical' polemic unearths a mythic reality buried just below the soil of our consumerist age, suggesting, perhaps, that whilst time may feel like it’s running away at an ever-increasing rate, it’s not too late to pause, reflect, and change.
