Glasgow Short Film Festival Tiny Geographies

Chris Dooks is an Ayr-based interdisciplinary artist. His practice is in part concerned with creative strategies to cope with chronic ill health. Commissioned to create a work for the Year of Natural Scotland 2013, Chris devised a series of six landscape films drawing on accessible environments just a few square metres in size. These ‘tiny’ geographies were made to see if there was any advantage to being unable to scale a Munro or even a small hill – and to try and make the best of limited energy.
