Sometimes it takes the darkness of a disaster, to throw light on the enduring power of love.
Inside.
Two minutes of Love and Life by Jemma Cholawo and Lois Norman
Sometimes it takes the darkness of a disaster, to throw light on the enduring power of love.
A tender two moments of reflection by writer Lois Norman, as she keeps her 95 year Father close and safe at home, during Lockdown. Inside, the 'feminine’ nurtures, protects and holds the memory of loved ones in our hearts. It reclaims the strength of 'family' and the power of Love to sustain us all.
This film came from an experimental group video project which Filmmaker Jemma Cholawo set in motion during Lockdown 2.0, inviting people of all backgrounds and creative abilities to share their personal experience of the pandemic through structured, not-quite-timelapse videos and a spoken word piece. The result of the project is an audio-visual journey through unique perspectives connected by the shared experience of living in a global pandemic, with contributors from the UK, France and Canada. Lois' poem 'Inside' was the final contribution to the film and she and Jemma have now reworked the piece to create this stand alone short film.
