I've had this DVD sat on my shelf for a few weeks now just
waiting for the opportunity for my husband and I to sit down together and watch
it, we finally got that opportunity yesterday afternoon. Being fans of Damh the Bard’s music we were
naturally excited to learn that his songs had inspired a youth theatre
production, which later evolved into a screenplay written by Gary Andrews.
Knowing that the film was a low budget, independent
production, I wasn’t expecting it to look like a Hollywood Blockbuster but I
was pleasantly surprised. The film
contains stunning British scenery including The White Horse of Uffington,
Waylands Smithy, Roll Right Stones and The Long Man of Wilmington. There are also some good special effects. But it is the weaving of a great tale that
makes this film truly spellbinding.
This is the blurb from the website
“Esther, Annie and George are 3 people whose lives have
reached a crisis point. On the night of
31st October, all three find themselves drawn to a clearing in the
woods. Secrets are revealed and nothing
will ever be the same again as an ancient power emerges from the
shadows.......”
As well as dealing with some difficult issues like animal
testing, substance abuse and war, the film also reminds us to stop and look
beyond our world’s full of technology and concrete to see a land full of beauty
and wonder.
I am really looking forward to the next instalment, Tales of
Albion.
