Nocturne for a Lighterman - REELpoetry

Really pleased that Nocturne for a Lighterman will be screened online at REELpoetry, Houston in the Video Jukebox section on Monday 31st March. This is part of my TREE project, but mainly I am thrilled to have a sublime soundscape by Marc Neys, someone I haven’t worked with before, strangely. It is perfect for the subject matter and suggests all the layered moods and content superbly. NFAL is also an ekphrastic poetry film, being a dialogue between Whistler and his painting Nocturne in Blue and Gold – Old Battersea Bridge (c. 1872–5) and one of my ancestors.
