Description
Production notes
An underwater journey through the landscape, from Dartmoor to the sea, becomes a meditation on the fluidity of time, memory, and place. Beams of sunlight refract as the water follows a gentle gradient along the riverbed, and leaves and shreds of weeds are caught in the current.
Production notes
Filmed underwater on a bend in the river Plym, deep in Plymbridge Woods in south Devon during a sunny afternoon one summer. The word ‘yessling’ is old Devon dialect for restless fidgeting.
