Several artists and independent filmmakers such as Tacita Dean, Ben Rivers, Adam Chodzko, Stephen Sutcliffe and Matt Hulse have taken up the mantle, presenting elements of a folk or rural culture in their films. This work however does not exist without precedent.  In decades past, Bruce Lacey and Jill Bruce and performer/filmmakers the Neo-Naturists have evoked pagan histories, and if we include those who excavate the sublime and psychogeographic qualities of the rural landscape, then there are also films by David Hall, Steven Ball and Philip Sanderson, Renny Croft, William Raban and Chris Welsby.

[Green on the Horizon is] An exploration of a bleak and mysterious marshland by a young woman on a bicycle who navigates this strange territory with the aid of a portable tape recorder whose prompt functions as an audio or guide book. Not quite a treasure hunt, the goal she seeks seems unclear, the journey is perhaps a self-fulfilling exercise. It has some of the atmosphere of a television thriller, a home movie Mission Impossible at whose outcome we can only speculate.

Short cuts make long delays. Green on the Horizon makes a wonderful diversion.
