Dir. Gideon Koppel
UK 2008, 94 mins

A flock of sheep are slowly herded along a hillside. A bale of hay gets wrapped in black plastic. A dog watches a tractor disappear in the distance. A choir practice. A mobile library. This documentary portrait of a Welsh farming community offers only scraps of narrative to grab onto, but if you can adjust to its pace you may well find it a uniquely satisfying experience. Gideon Koppel earns his living as a photographer and the images are beautiful, as is the music by Aphex Twin. Bubbling under you can also sense a horror at what we might be losing as thousands of villages like this one disappear.

Dummy Jim RepairsShowing with God Gives Nuts But He Does Not Crack Them (dir: Matt Hulse) – a taster for feature Dummy Jim, about a profoundly deaf Scotsman who cycled to the Arctic Circle.
