Gathering Storm

In this radical new departure, experimental filmmaker David Rimmer returns to the film surface with the first in a series of beautifully wrought hand-painted, camera-less films. Gathering Storm builds against the grain; fusing the uplifting spirit of the rhythms and intentionalities of contemporary world music with our political flight into disorder and chaos to create this hautingly beautiful and troubling abstract film. A film without words.
