The Birds Are The Only Witnesses

The Birds are The Only Witnesses is a short film about transience, noise and the space that air occupies arround objects and living things.

The film begins with images of a fallen tree.

It is narrated at the commencement with a story I wrote in personal response to the tree falling days after a gale hit London.

(When London Bridge and Kings X Stations roofs came down)

The narration stops and the noise of a chainsaw and branch mincer dominate the air.

The tree is hacked up and removed by the council.

The narration resumes as do more imagery of the stump that remains.
