A cinematic meditation a time-based painting accompanied by a minimalistic music with a metallic bell-like sound. Digitally transformed landscapes, a skull and only barely recognizable people like shadows are the visual material for the film. The film has no classical narrative - more the hint of a journey a transformation from death into life (not the opposite) as in many mythologies where the ferryman picks up the dead to transfuse them into a new life.

Three line summary:
The use of video technology to reveal poetic aspects of the landscape that cannot be seen with the eyes alone (high and low shutter speeds, time dilation and compression, focal length extremes, all these combined at times with a moving camera), fractured reflections on ice ice and water, and shadow traces permanently left by the photographer on the landscape only in the recorded images combine with an unsettling soundscape to provide a visceral representation of the psychological experience of depression and recovery in Pamela Falkenberg and Jack Cochran’s film poem of The Shadow by Lucy English
