Jonny Greenwood’s project ‘The Body Song’ will be shown in Rotterdam (Netherlands) at the International Film Festival. The movie, subtitled as A Century of Human Drama and Struggle captured in Moving Images, tells the story of an archetypal human life using images taken from All around the World and The Last 100 Years of Cinema.
The editing, music, and the mythic narrative arc of the material is designed to take the viewer on a roller coaster tour of the human body and life cycle. Every possible depiction of the human life from microscopic medical to portraits and newsreels, from births to deaths, are cut to a powerful music track by Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead to create a powerful and highly emotional film.
The film’s power derives from the force of numbers; each face, each person, each body, each glimpse of anatomy, is both abstracted and dignified by being part of a huge flow, a torrent of humanity larger than any of us can conceive.
Written and Directed by Simon Pummell, Music written and produced by Jonny Greenwood, Produced by Janine Marmot, A Film by Hot Property Films for FilmFour and The Film Council.
