THE SOUL OF A STATUE

A fragmented recollection of inspiration, this film is a collage of texture and detail as we observe the extraordinary process of glass sculpture Martin Janecký. We glide over the cliffs as we are drawn out to the ocean. The fisherman of the far North of Scotland battle the sea as the rugged features of a bearded man are carved from a single piece of hot glass. The film captures Janeckýs endeavour to translate his visions into a sculpture so breathtaking it appears to have a soul of its own.
