Filmed in rural Sussex in 1982 and re-edited in 2008 with a new sound track, the charm of this period piece does not date. Each month there is a different story, told in rhyming couplets and highlighting changes in the countryside through the year. An interview with Emma twenty-six years on adds a poignant postscript to her adventures as a child. The series will be particularly useful to primary teachers. Six-year-old Emma lives with her mother in the country. Whenever she can, she visits her Grandpa and his dog, Cindy, who live in an old cottage not far away. For a few moments in each story you can eavesdrop on their conversation as they explore the woods and fields near their homes and discover all sorts of things about the countryside as it changes through the twelve months of the year.

The strained relationship between a grandfather and his grandson and the young woman who smooths the troubled waters

The director’s grandparents, who have been together for over 60 years, recall (and re-edit) fragments of their life together. The film, originally intended as part of a video installation, captures a return to a nonlinear past, while also probing how textures and the materiality of images can be inscribed onto the cinema screen. “A play of light, shadows, and pixels, Alma Buhagiar’s film comes from afar, from a cinema now forgotten where a superimposition, a portrait dissolving into the landscape, could be suspense, climax, could be a story in itself. Beyond its rarity, the charm of this PATCHWORK is mainly the unspoken seriousness of this game of filming with the grandparents. Of course, showing their love is certainly a pleasure, listening to their spells is a curiosity, and making them dance in each other’s arms is pure joy. Still, it is just as certain that the three of them are aware they are staging scenes for eternity, equally concerned with the past, present, and future. In fact, it may be that this is what any home movie is doing.” (Călin Boto)
