Chants

After three very hectic films I needed something to soothe my nerves I came across these Coptic crosses in a Greek souvenir shop and at the time I also heard some Gregorian chants I thought these cheap plastic crosses looked really beautifuland I shot them against black velvet so that they appeared to float emanating something in a deep spacekind of heavenly images Nothing much happensits really a meditation Funnily enough I found that the Hare Krishna Movement which was flourishing at the time rented the film out a lot to use at their camps Another time Albie Thoms used some of the footage on GTK ABC TVs youthpop program where it looked very odd indeed I believe that Gregorian chants were in the hit parade only recently This sort of spirituality touches all kinds of people Paul Winkler
