Keeley Forsyth - Horse

Written by Keeley Forsyth and Ross Downes
(After 'The Turin Horse' by Mihály Vig).
Directed and edited by Ross Downes.
Camera by Neil Cain.
Shot on location in North Yorkshire.
Affected by the themes of domestic duty, poverty, love, and compassion depicted in Bela Tarr’s final film, ‘The Turin Horse’, Forsyth contacted its composer and Tarr’s long-time collaborator Mihály Vig to ask for permission to ‘reimagine’ his soundtrack score. With his blessing, the resulting track ‘Horse’ is a pressurised outpouring, steadily building as the everyday is cast within a new mythical light of survival and hope. The repetitive banalities of life become epic as the character attends to the needs of others. “The fire must keep / My father must sleep / Around this house I creep”.
'Horse' is the first single from forthcoming Lp 'The Hollow' - 130701.lnk.to/...
