Shot in and around the studio and garden of the painter Paul Cézanne in Aix-en-Provence and also on the mountain Saint Victoire; the focus of a long running series of paintings made between 1882-1906. Soundtrack by Toshiya Tsunoda.

The kind of precision which holds Where I Am Is Here together doesn’t depend on words: about half a dozen recurring themes — a stone thrown in the water, a car door shutting, traffic, buildings seen from passing buses, and so on — act upon each other, and are then accompanied by Hector MacAndrew’s music for my poem Hilltop Pibroch. (Margaret Tait)

A foreign city, the filmmaker’s surroundings, daily life. An accumulation of poetic and experiential instances that describe inhabiting a post-industrial landscape, the end of a love story, and the politics of the private and the public. Shot in 16mm the film explores the aesthetics of solitude and invokes the apparition and exorcism of spectra by articulating the emotional function of cinema.

Luke Fowler constructed this tribute to Scottish filmmaker and poet Margaret Tait on the occasion of her centenary. Setting off to Tait’s native Orkney, Fowler creates a record of her life and work through images of her past dwellings and filming locations, excerpts from her production diaries, and the reciting of her poem Houses in which she reflects on the meaning of home.
