Prodigal is a film of Kona Macphee's poem, which was born from Andrew Philip's project for the second Hidden Door festival, held in Edinburgh in October 2010: I was asked to record a reading of the poem. As I read it, I felt it's power and resolved to make a filmpoem. I commissioned a cello piece from Rebecca Rowe and we performed this live at the Poetry Association of Scotland's meeting on 9th March 2011, at the Scottish poetry Library. A new direction for these perhaps, the addition of live performance...but the work is as dark and mercurial as ever.

    You're getting better and better, Alastair. We've got to figure out some way to lure you to the States -- some sort of international filmpoem/videopoem conclave. Mainly so I can see these on the big screen.
