I am the Great Sun

I am the Great Sun

I am the Great Sun is a 7min long digital experimental film. It was made in response to the landscape the film is set within. The prehistoric site on the southern side of the Isle of Arran with views over the ocean to the Alisa Craig an ancient rock was a catalyst for creating this film. I was compelled to create this film after the experience of walking in the island landscape, struck by an uncanny feeling, witnessing the aftermath of violence, the damage inflicted during the decimation of the forest. I aim to depict the alien power and beauty of the natural world, and the pathos of human attempts to control it. The film is part of a series of four experimental film works that explore Timothy Morton’s idea ecogneocis.

The film was screened  ‘The Play of Life and Non-Life in Landscapes of Abandonment’
