The poem Kissing in hats is a villanelle, a verse form where the regular repetition of two key lines gives added urgency to what is being said.
The effect is intensified here by double tracking of the speaker's voice, as a moving path scans a drawing of World War Two lovers kissing in hats
before the men must board their train. This is a new version with the text of the poem on screen.

From 12th-century China, to 21st-century London, a parable of life.
In Ten Bulls, Kim Bour has taken the Chinese master Kakuan's illustrated fable of the herdsman in search of the elusive bull, and presented it as modern epic of mankind's struggle for understanding.
Trapped by modern life, we sway aimlessly, seeking purpose and true satisfaction. Ten Bulls tracks one man's search for this truth.
Through rich sound design and flowing imagery, Kim Bour leads us through an almost meditative illustration of this timeless quest. Rich and mystical, yet controlled, Ten Bulls melds the harmony of Zen philosophy and film-making: the simplicity that we see all around us - a petal in a stream, a perfect circle - all blend in a modern meditation.
To find, we must seek. The unexamined life is worthless. 'I find the world in me'.
