| Popis: |
Like many island communities, residents of the Orkney Islands, Scotland are acutely aware of the urban-rural dynamic at play in our ever-globalised world. This character-driven film comes as a contribution to an ongoing conversation – one concerning healthcare provision for ageing residents of the archipelago’s non-linked isles. It understands this geographical disparity in light of globalisation and the way in which space is perceived from various perspectives of centrality, rurality and mobility. The film follows a summer in the lives of three locals with the intention to re-centre the discourse around healthcare provision and provide an image of the island experience for non-local decision-makers. The camera’s power to listen moves the story onto deeper universal topics of ageing and dying. |
