Overview

Marshes are the breeding grounds of millions of water-birds and untold numbers of interrelated wildlife. These precious wetlands are being drained, victims of man’s relentless search for more farmland and urban space. The film captures the poetic beauty of marsh life, then the terror and awesome finality which results when man reclaims a marsh for his purposes.

70s Butlins documentary, part of a series of films directed by Tony Palmer, which was announced in The Stage [The Stage, 25 July 1974, p.14] "Tony Palmer is directing a new series with Harriet Crawley which will be seen in the HTV area. Tentatively titled Harriet, it will feature Miss Crawley in a number of roles each of which, as it were, puts her on the spot. For example, she will go up (and down) with a group of sky divers, work with an elephant trainer in a circus, become an operatic soprano (she will actually sing in a performance of Carmen), and for a time be a hell's angel's moll. Patrick Dromgoole is the executive producer of this one."

Wounded Edges

Feb 28, 2026

In July 2022, a forest fire broke out on Monte Gambarogno in Ticino, Switzerland. Wound Edges is my emotional response to this landscape, filmed on 16mm and hand-developed with the forest’s ashes. Each frame carries physical traces of the land’s memory, blending destruction with resilience. The soundscape—field recordings, burned wood, contact microphones on trees, and the presence of fire—echoes the forest’s wounds. A reflection on human impact, impermanence, and the haunting beauty of transformation.

Price, as they document the handsome steam power (and the occasional pesky diesel) of the Grand Trump, Central Vermont, Boston & Maine, and New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroads.

Many wheel arrangements are featured, as is the passenger and freight rolling stock of the era ...including truss-rodded clerestory-roofed wooden maroon passenger cars on the B&M! So come along with Clear Block Productions as we journey back to the late 1940's and early 1950's to witness Steam's Final Stand in the Northeast in Vignettes of the New England Steam.

Hercules travels by bicycle from Krefeld on the Lower Rhine to Olympus, the throne of ancient deities.
