Geoffrey Jones

I bought this wonderful DVD the other week, Geoffrey Jones: The Rhythm Of Film. It contains 9 films of Geoffrey Jones, a documentary and information film maker. These date from 1955 to 2004 and are all superb.
Snow is especially good. It is an almost surreal portrayal of a snowed-in railway system and features a strange kind of pub-rock soundtrack that has been manipulated by Daphne Oram in the most strange but agreeable style suggesting a wild post production session spent over-indulging with an EQ machine. Ravishing, in my opinion.
