Together they will be collaborating on a short poetry film. While Marged was writing and walking, Aled was filming and recording sounds, above the waves, along edges of rocks, on the mountain, between two fields, near the lighthouse, in the houses, in the school, in the remains of the abbey – in sun, rain, wind and in the early hours of the morning. From filming time-lapses to filming in slow motion, he tried to document the landscape and the busy comings and goings of the people who live and work on the island.
