The Oven Songs

UK, Bahamas (2010) Documentary 6 minutes

Meet the boys and girls, young and old, whose stories and songs invite you to the world of the island’s rich and vibrant oral culture. Instead of Eleuthera’s visual beauty, the film has pursued the sound of the island, the ryhythm and melody in the way Eleutherans speak, the music they play and the sound of the waves, boats and birds that they listen to.

I was sent to Eleuthera island of the Bahamas as a finalist of the filmmaking competition, 14 Islands Film Challenge
(www.14islandsfilmchallenge.co.uk).
