kerry Ridgeway & Offa’s Dyke // Shropshire

“
Tread a line
from that side to this
onwards
across the Marches
At a crossroads on the border of the Welsh and Shropshire Marches, two ancient pathways cross and stories emerge through poetry and song.
In this poetry film, the Kerry Ridgeway’s name becomes the character of a lovelorn maiden. The Offa’s Dyke Path is explored as a site of repeated movement of people and livestock over time, carving out ditches, hollows and histories.
The film plays upon conventions of hauntology within folk music, poetry and folk horror cinema.
