Today saw the world premier of my film: ‘Ness of Brodgar 5th edit – work in progress’, which is around half the intended length of the film. It was shown on site, projected on to the wall of the barn where the wheelbarrows are stored. There were some good reactions, including a few laughs. The audience was so big that a second showing was necessary at the end of the day. Having watch the film through twice I can see they there are a few tweaks necessary. Once they are done this latest version will go on Vimeo, alongside the previous edits.
For me the occasion was probably as nerve-racking as a gallery preview – but the location was perfect. It would be good to recreate this open air cinema next year, when I hope the film will be complete.
Setting up the film show took up most of my day, but I managed one drawing in the afternoon of Trench T from my previously established view point. The plan is to show a series of drawings from the same place over time.
