Water Cycle

Directed by Tom Hansell

This short experimental film explores human interaction with freshwater ecosystems. The filmmaker collected plastic, sand, and moss from the New River and taped them to clear 16mm film leader in homage to Stan Brakhage’s work. The soundtrack is a mix of ambient noises ranging in place of origin from the river's headwaters on Snake Mountain in North Carolina to its mouth in Gauley Bridge, West Virginia.
