Luennon abstrakti:

Y Gors

Dafydd Sill-Jones (Aberystwyth University)

This is a film about Cors Fochno near Borth in West Wales, one of the largest
raised bogs in the UK, and the reaction of local people to its existence.
Through it the makers seek to examine the tensions between documentary
production proce- dures, and community collaboration. The film in question –
'Y Gors' [The Bog] – was made as part of the AHRC funded 'Hydrocitizenship'
project, and in conjunction with a community group, in this case a local choir
names after the bog, 'Côr Y Gors'. These links exacerbate the pre-existing
issue native to all documentaries, of a tension between 'directorial' author-
ship, and the authorship invested in contribution and collaboration. This
film’ s research questions originated in discussions about how to approach the
basic dichotomy of documentary – its simultaneous claim on the real and its
constructed nature – in a specific project context through the use of a
specifically written musical soundscape. These were heightened by the potential
for polemic and controversy in a topic invested with conflict; farmer vs
ecologist; local vs incomer, Welsh vs English; human vs nature. One central
hypothesis in this project was that musical structures might enable a film to
carry the weight of coherence without resorting to the apparatus of the realist
documentary. In turn such musical structures could also avoid alienating the
community collaborators by appealing 'over their heads' to an cosmo-elite art
audience. It did this by experimenting with the filmmaking process, by placing
musical composition at the heart of editorial decision making processes.
