  • 2008/078/021
  • This film is a broad assortment of footage (although it starts with film 2008/078/021, it also includes duplicates of films 2008/078/022-033) taken within a Himalayan hill station in India [Mussoorie?]. Williams records street sellers on the roadside as he journeys through the hillside and a British lady being carried by Indian servants, amongst shots of the landscape; the conifers and oaks against the silhouettes of the mountain-scape. Williams journeys from land to water as he shoots his movement on board a cargo freighter, from the perspective of the bow, observing locals canoe through the lake, women washing their clothes on the bankside and ending on a collection of home-video style footage of British families playing in the water.
