Video by Tim Sparke, who sez:
Incredible colour footage of 1920s London shot by an early British pioneer of film named Claude Frisse-Greene, who made a series of travelogues using the colour process his father William – a noted cinematographer – was experimenting with. It’s like a beautifully dusty old postcard you’d find in a junk store, but moving.
Music by Jonquil and Yann Tiersen.
A HD copy of Robert Morgan’s wonderfully creepy award-winning 2001 short film ‘nabbed off Stage 6 before it went under’ by Youtuber HonorNecris.
The tale itself was inspired by a recurring nightmare experienced by the director’s older sister.
Full screen. HD. Lights off.
Sweet dreams.
