THE QUIET VILLAGE
Anthologies is a serial short-film collection produced as part of the Digital Season for 2023. Inspired by Ali Esiri's A Poem for Every Day of the Year and her work with Helena Bonham-Carter and Tobias Menzies, Anthologies draws upon the traditional performance of poetry as an intimate occasion between audiences and their direct connection to the performer.
The first series, The Quiet Village, was created and directed by Artistic Director Rhys Chant. The Quiet Village is an eclectic collection inspired by romance, rurality and quiet living. Performed by various artists through a collaborative process with Rhys Chant, the series curates a sprawling narrative of a village and the gossip which permeates the local culture, tied together through quaint quiet places and spaces across Chichester.
