NEOLITHIC FILM PROJECT
In 4000 BC, Britain was an Empire of Forest. The last gatherer-hunters grasped the coastline where food was plentiful but they rarely breached the Great Green.
The forest was impenetrable, a place of hardship where food was not easy to gather. It was terrifying; inhabited by truly belligerent spirits intent on destruction over those who ventured there. Only rivers breached the interior.
Into this malevolence came desperate pioneers - miners, farmers & herders who escaped to Britain to live their lives truly FREE - beyond the reach of oppressive polities on the continent. For those who braved it, the riches outweighed the hardships.
Slowly these disparate communities gave rise to the Megalithic cultures whose monuments still stand, enigmatic, in the countryside today.
THE FILM JOURNEY
For over two years Chris has been researching the life and spiritways of our Neolithic ancestors, with the aim of creating his first feature film. Along that journey he will be making short films, social media documentaries, giving talks, demonstrations, workshops and more besides. You can find out what he’s doing next - right here:
