04.Film “Another Time”

John Williams(Welsh=UK)

I’ve now made three films on Sado Island and I hope to make at least three more. There is so much to attract filmmakers to Sado – the landscape, the colors, the changing seasons, the stories, legends, history and above all the people who live here. When I bring friends to Sado they always tell me that they are inspired to write or create something. This film, Tabi, Another Time, is based on a famous radio play from Wales, called Under Milk Wood, which is set in a small fishing village in Wales. I combined this with local legends and stories from Kitaushima. Originally, I planned to do this as a play on the seashore, but because of the pandemic it became a film. One day I hope to stage a play in Kitaushima.
