Christopher Morris’s documentary, A Year in a Field, delights sold-out Newlyn audience as it heads for festivals worldwide
Barbie and Oppenheimer were both playing at the cinema in the Cornish fishing town of Newlyn this week but there was a full house for a much more modest 86-minute film focusing on a lichen-clad granite rock.
A Year in a Field tells the slow but compelling story of director Christopher Morris’s unfolding relationship with the Longstone, a 4,000-year menhir that stands sentinel in a farmer’s field overlooking the sea near his west Cornwall home.
