Winter
This DVD is the first in a series of four, based around the Shetland seasons - Winter, Voar, Simmer and Hairst.
This DVD consists of three short films made up of stills and film clips accompanied by beautiful traditional Shetland music.
We have recorded the music in-house (in croft really!) with the help of Jim Leask, a brilliant traditional Shetland fiddle player.
UK Television, Channel 4, FourDocs Editor wrote about Up Helly Aa “A delightful film mostly assembled from stills, but occasionally (and magically) breaking into snatches of movie. It catches the celebrations of the Up Helly Aa festival held on the island of Shetland in January every year - a fire festival lasting all night when a replica Viking boat is burned. Great music from the local brass band too.”
and Wir Peerie Ponies “You get the feeling watching this that it would be the sort of film horses would make if they could. It's almost as if they are jostling with one another to get into the action. In many ways films like these are what FourDocs is all about: exposing little stories buried deep in slices of everyday life. In this case, wintry Shetland and its famous miniature ponies.”
