Ettrick Filming Locations

This visually captivating observational documentary of Scotland offers not only images of the rugged landscape, meadows, extensive forests and windmills, but also a detailed study of the meticulous handiwork completed at the local textile mill. Through exploring the nature of the digital record that captures the shape of the landscape, the film identifies images that reflect local everyday life. The physical movement through the area is also a journey into the imagery, which gradually disintegrates into particles of color and shifting surfaces, subsequently reassembling back into the contours that change as a result of weather and time. Through the emphasis placed on colors and flow in calm compositions, the symbols of the traditional life in the region are revealed.
