About the Director
Emerging film-maker and photographer Lesley Elliott has a keen eye for design and a great understanding of colour and form. Currently studying full time at Confetti Creative Institute in Nottingham, UK for a degree in Film and TV production, donations are required for the production of a documentary about Iceland and the hardy horses that call it home.
About the Film
Iceland is a wonderfully charismatic country full of folk tales, traditions and nature. Volcanoes, giesers, lava fields and trolls houses made from rocks set the scene for the main character of this documentary the Icelandic Horse. The ONLY breed brought to Iceland to survive, natural selection has played a huge role in the breeding of this hardy fellow and as a result of having no natural predators are very self assured and characterful. They are especially known in the horse world for their ability to perform an additional running technique named the Tölt, a very quick four beat walking/run where one foot is always kept to the ground, allowing for an unusually soft ride. It is known that you can drink a glass of beer while riding full speed in this gait!
Gorgeously saturated images of the landscape will compliment a slow paced, close study of these creatures that could have almost been plucked out of a myths and legends tale.
Music is being commissioned by 8mm Orchestra with possible future EP release.
