Port Meadow (Zachary Xavier, 2022)
In 2020-21, I shot and edited an experimental landscape film. Below you can find out more about the project by reading the synopsis, and view a selection of stills from the film. Following this, I have also embedded a link to the full film for you to view.
Synopsis
"Port Meadow" is an experimental landscape film. It was shot in the eponymous location––an ancient grazing land located in Oxford, England––during the nationwide lockdown of November 2020. Consisting of various long takes, the film examines the relationship between human life and the natural environment, and meditates on the ability of filmic technology to simultaneously articulate and contribute to the (illusory) stratification that underscores this association.
