Collection of the innovative and experimental short films by celebrated filmmaker Geoffrey Jones, spanning his career from 1955 to 2004 and exploring his signature themes of industrialism, the changing seasons, and the marriage of imagery to music and rhythm. The short films are: 'Snow'; 'Rail'; 'Locomotion'; 'Trinidad and Tobago'; 'Shell Spirit'; 'This is Shell'; 'Seasons Project'; 'A Chair-a-Plane Kwela' and 'A Chair-a-Plane Flamenco'.

Please note this is a region 2 DVD and will require a region 2 (Europe) or region Free DVD Player in order to play.  Films by Geoffrey Jones Since the 1950s Geoffrey Jones has been making films that look, sound and feel like nothing else.The Rhythm of Film describes a key element to what makes his work so special. In such films as BTFs Snow and Rail, and Trinidad and Tobago images react, combine and dance together to create a living, pulsing journey. In his final BTF film Locomotion the entire history of the British railways is illustrated through an accelerating frenzy of rhythm. One surprising fact is that Jones has most often used the Industrial Short to express his art in this way, but his unique vision is also revealed in full with such personal works as his Seasons Project and A Chair-a-Plane films. With his extraordinary marriage of images, music and rhythm, Geoffrey Jones ranks alongside such luminaries as Norman McLaren, and Len Lye and remains one of Britain's true film artists.
