Sky Light - Chris Welsby (United Kingdom, 1988, 16mm, 26:00 min)
Sky Light is a single screen version of the
6-projector installation with the same title. “An idyllic river through a
forest, flashes of light and colour threaten to erase the image, bursts of
short wave and static invade the tranquillity of the natural sound. The camera
searches amongst the craggy rocks and ruined buildings of a bleak and windswept
snowscape, a Geiger counter chatters ominously in the background. The sky is
overcast at first but gradually clears to reveal a sky of unnatural cobalt
blue. This film was made in response to some very strong feelings experienced
at the time of the Chernobyl disaster in 1986.”
