Story
Aftersong is a film-poem based on the writings of the English nature writer Richard Jefferies and the music of French composer Lili Boulanger. It is a meditation on the lingering afterimages left behind by the dead where the tension between absence and presence continues to endure across time, rippling through fragments of “period drama: cinema, architecture and nature.” Filmed on 16mm with a voice-over from the contemporary supernatural English writer Quentin S. Crisp.
