W Keith McManus' Group / Filmpoem 12/ Prodigal
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.
