Recently, I’ve been using film as a way to explore discussions with British Veterans. Learning about the challenges they face during and after service. Recordings of these conversations become a guide while collecting footage of the landscape to accompany their voices.
I navigate the site in the same way I do their stories, waiting for unexpected moments which uncover opportunities to listen. I appreciate finding ways to capture a pause in their sentence, or stutter in their speech. The final film provides a chance to slow down, to listen closely, and consider the story being told.
