Chris Welsby
1994 - Grande-Bretagne - Couleur - 17'
A study of winter light falling on the surface of water, metal, fog and cloud. The dominant colour is grey; grey infused with a multitude of ocean blues and greens. There is little land in this film and very few landmarks from which to navigate from one space to the next. On one level Drift is a film about the ocean, about 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.
