Fen Bridges: Forty Foot of Vermuden’s Drain to the Great Ouse
Synopsis
This film piece responds to the environment of the Fens, exploring an artificial landscape that exists only because of human intervention. Filmed over one day, it records bridges over a dike which carries water away from farmland to the river the Great Ouse.
