Choice Brits - Script Factory

BODYSONG (cert 18)

A mesmeric digital documentary which defies traditional description, created solely from an eclectic archive from newsreels to home movies. Tracing the notion of ‘human-ness’ from conception to death via religion, violence and art, Bodysong is a magnificent synthesis of music (complete with a score by Radiohead’s Johnny Greenwood), history and philosophy.
Dir/Scr. Simon Pummell
UK 2002, 83 mins

For Choice Brits, Bodysong is introduced by Mike Figgis
 
Bodysong won a British Independent Film Award for Best British Documentary and was nominated for the Tiger Award at the 2003 Rotterdam Film Festival.
