A film that captured the artist and his long-term and intimate relations with people, place and environment. The project was initiated by asking people what they could remember about an old film called Whistle Down The Wind, starring Hayley Mills (1961). It was filmed around Pendle Hill in Lancashire, UK, and involved many local school children. This new interpretation followed over 60 local community members as they remembered old scenes and imagined new ones. It also revealed the majestic presence and power of Pendle Hill and the surrounding countryside and the emergence of contemporary social issues in the process.
