Home of the Bonspiel

I cannot recall exactly the exact date  in 2014 that I first visited Carsebreck, home of the BONSPIEL. However, I do recall that I had a lot on my mind. This film reflects that!

In 2014 I visited Carsebreck curling pond. It is a very special place now populated by wintering wildfowl rather than people. I made a film but was never truly happy with it. So this year I have made another film about Carsebreck. This film is called: IMPRINT [nearness of distance]:
