The Chair - redux

I finished the short film about a chair, and it was shown last night, in a cinema in a Pennine village that has a far longer film history than that town in the Californian desert synonymous with all things filmy.

[Ironically Holmfirth has holly in its name too - holm is thought to derive from holgen, Old English for holly. Though firth doesn’t mean wood, as some people like to think, it means river crossing]

The title, A COMFORTABLE MEANS TO PREVENT COLLISION WITH THE GROUND, refers to the semantic poem I wrote in 1979.

Life often imitates art, but films don’t always stick to the storyboard.
