The Pump

Overview

As Scottish poet Ivor Cutler muses, in Jamie Kane's "The Pump": 'Gravity begins at home.' Kane's film grapples with premonition and what you miss when you lose everything. The gaping absence of one’s own house swallowed by nature through a flooded mine shaft is told through a personal account of the events. Objects from the rubble, outside structures and interior details map such loss against the impermanence of possessions.
