Optician's Daughter

Abstract

Optician's Daughter (2021) is an exploration of looking (Super8 and digital, dur: 4.21) by Ward. The camera is used to both reveal and conceal the mysterious layers of light and colour in the filmmaker’s environment, leading all the time, moment by moment to a sense of visual meaning.  The playful and disturbing music accompaniment underscores a sense of yearning and loss.  The daughter looks slowly and illuminates the possibilities which remain wrapped in a sublime tension of being and possibility.
Selected for 5 International Film Festivals, also Plymouth University, British Art Show, ‘Passing Through’ programme.
