A thirty-five minute film directed by Cork-based film maker and video artist David Bickley in collaboration with Colin, based on the album Water On Stone.
I uncovered a narrative in the album which had echoes back to ancient mythology and had an idea for a film that takes the viewer on a journey through the songs in the manner of an ancient saga ~ David Bickley
Following the successful world premiere of the film at the Corona Fastnet Short Film Festival at the end of May we decided to make two ‘optimised’ versions of the film available free of charge for a limited period exclusively through colinvearncombe.com.
It’s exciting for any artist to see their work expanded upon and moved into a completely different place from the one originally intended for it … one of the most fascinating projects I’ve ever worked on ~ Colin
Regular visitors to the site will remember that we had a similar limited-period free download of The Given last year. We offered those loyal supporters who wanted to ‘give back’, a donation facility and we were very happy with the response so we did it again with this film. However, as with almost all of our free downloads, they are for limited periods only and you have missed this one. Many have enjoyed the film and left comments below – we’ll keep them open for now.
Please note that the special ‘pre-release’ 2-CD version of the album is nearly sold-out and will not be made available again in that format. All the album tracks are now available for download through iTunes and CD Baby. Click here for details.
