Song For Billy
Song For Billy
2017, English. Directed by Sirkka-Liisa Konttinen.
A meditation on a lost era and the regenerative power of the sea, Song For Billy grew out of the haunting photographs of Sirkka-Liisa Konttinen’s photography project The Coal Coast. Tracing the scattered clues of England’s post-industrial northern coastline, with coal mining seams extending deep under the seabed, lead to stories embedded in the surreal landscape and the vivid re-enacting of the death of a young coal miner Billy, by his workmate. The story inspired the New York based percussion group So Percussion, who together with Amber created the film’s cathartic music.
