The Persistent Seed
Sign in to track this film in your collection or want list.
“A film by Christopher Chapman, known for his lyrical films of countryside and wilderness. He turns his color camera on the growing city and there finds cheering proof that despite concrete and bulldozer, the persistent seed prevails. The film is without commentary and the camera work is a constant delight, for Chapman has the gift of catching life smiling wherever he may look. Film without words.” (National Film Board of Canada)
