SPIRIT MESSAGES
Spirit Messages is a touring programme of six artists’ films curated by the prominent Dublin-based initiative for artists’ moving image aemi.
Huw Wahl and Rose Ravetz
For this special evening screening Huw Wahl will be joined in conversation by his sister Rose Ravetz, who introduced him to sailing on her Falmouth quay punt Defiance. This experience produced the first shoots of Huw’s project Wind, Tide & Oar, which grew into a sibling collaboration of multiple proportions.
Wind, Tide & Oar
Using a 1960s hand-wound camera, Huw Wahl shot Wind, Tide & Oar over a three-year period. In that time he followed a diverse array of traditional boats and the people who sail them as they journey through rivers, along coastlines and across open seas.
