Just To Be Is A Blessing, Just To Live Is Holy

A man reconciles the chains of a church filled with tens of thousands of objects collected over a life-time, with his uncompromising devotion to a life of dreams and possibilities. ‘Just To Be Is A Blessing, Just To Live Is Holy’ navigates us through the psychological labyrinths of eccentric Welshman Rob Clement, in the first of a collection of short films by multidisciplinary artists Samana. The series seeks to extrapolate the quintessence of each individual portrayed in a quest for anthropological excavation. Each portrait combines 8mm film with psychogeographical soundscapes, fragments of acutely intimate interviews and a reflective instrumental composition, to portray each subject through a tapestry of senses.

All One Breath

'All One Breath' is a super 8 short-film, shot at the turn of the golden hour across the mystic coastline of West Wales. The video draws upon the cyclic rhythm of a divine movement that exists in all processes of nature, as a breath ad infinitum. With whispering voices and fragments of distorted poetic verse, the sparse sonics coupled with natural imagery give rise to a distant, ancient prayer, mobilised by the elements and by time itself.
