Ossian & the Hare: An Experiment in Poetry and the Alchemy of Film
- Naomi Wilson
Abstract
Ossian & the Hare is an experimental film-essay combination intended to work like two sides of the one coin. The 20-minute long film is designed to be more experiential than narrative driven, moving us through various spaces and atmospheres as if in a kind of dreamscape. In pointing up some of the thinking and ideas that are embedded in the film, the text provides a framework situating the film within a film-as-artwork context. It outlines many of the influences that contribute both to visual style and content, offering more depth to the overall experience of viewing the film.
Keywords: Experimental films, Mythology, Liminality in motion pictures, Poetry in motion pictures, Celtic arts
