Study of a River (1996, 19 min.) by Peter Hutton, subtly connects the flow of the Hudson River to the flow of human and film time. Drift (1995, 17 min.) by Chris Welsby. ?On one level Drift is a film about the ocean, about winter light, and about ships at anchor in a sheltered bay. However, it is also a metaphor, an essentially filmic metaphor about time and space, about being and perception, a metaphor for the act of looking, looking at film and looking at the World?
