Spirit in Mass – Journey into Sculpture
A 40 minute documentary available on DVD which charts Alan Thornhill’s unconventional journey into sculpture. Spirit in Mass – Journey into Sculpture from Anna Thornhill on Vimeo. A very evocative piece of film-making which is a wonderful tribute to a multi-faceted artist and human being. Carol Godsmark, Trustee Chichester Film Festival Probably the most rewarding 40 minutes I have had in a very long time! Thank you. Simon Mills FRSA Discovering himself to be by nature an improviser yet committed to the time-honoured language and sensuous values of sculpture, he devised a way of working which embraced spontaneity and the unforeseen. This approach has inspired sculpture students and produced a body of challenging work drawn, in part unconsciously, from personal and shared concerns of the late 20th century. Director Anna Thornhill is an artist, film-maker and project manager with 25 years experience of working in the arts as practitioner, collaborator and organiser. Spirit in Mass is Anna’s first film, made about her father. The film has been awarded distribution funding through Screen South and the RIFE lottery funding programme. Camera: Zuleika Kingdon, Karl Ellison, Anna Thornhill The film is available on DVD with a 12 page leaflet containing two supporting essays. Cost £15 including packing and postage.
