This Is Our Still Life
United Kingdom 2011, 57 mins
Premiered at this year’s Venice Film Festival, the latest from Andrew Kötting (GALLIVANT, IVUL) is a deliciously eccentric portrait of the remote tumbledown Pyrenean farmhouse where the film-maker, his wife Leila and daughter Eden have lived on and off for more than 20 years.
Last seen in GALLIVANT as a plucky kid touring the coastline of Britain, Eden, who was born with a rare neurological disease, is now a young woman aged 22.
Here we see her painting still lifes and singing along to the radio as the seasons ebb and flow around her.
With music from Scanner and a whole plethora of cut-ups and voices from the film-maker’s sound archive, THIS OUR STILL LIFE exudes an evocative charge of melancholia and nostalgia.
