Fragments of Peace
Using a mixture of interviews and fictional narrative , this film considers the questions of what constitutes peace and whether peace is attainable, particularly in relation to the idealized notion of rural living. The images and the interweaving audio clips highlight the fragmentary, selective and illusory nature of our perception and understanding of reality. While the content of the film draws heavily on interviews with individuals, the interpretation and re-presentation of the interview material is highly subjective, and is therefore inseparable from the film-maker’s personal experience.
