Mattie - A Homage to Humphrey Jennings

You should watch this video, St. George's Day, made by Mattie. I tried to put it here, unfortunately it's not fit with the available with in the blog.

So I captured some images from it. Mattie presents it as his really pathetic attempt at being like Humphrey Jennings.


I think is a very good video and it captures the spirit of Jennings. The images speak for themselves. But you should watch the video: it has a perfect rhythm, and this cannot be rendered by a few disparate images.






And here is a film made by Humphrey Jennings in 1938. Lindsay Anderson said that Humphrey Jennings was the only real poet that British cinema had yet produced.
