A Prism Splits Light (2011)

Mike Marshall’s film A Prism Splits Light (2011), which was produced in conjunction with ArtSway/Stour Valley Arts and the Pharos Trust in Cyprus, where he held residencies, features an olive grove in Cyprus that is tended by a Vietnamese couple who live in a small pre-fabricated home on the land. Hoa typically wears a traditional Vietnamese conical hat when she is working, while her husband Tung often dresses in army fatigues. They work together amongst a typically Mediterranean landscape in springtime. The soundtrack of the film features a variety of birdsong along with the occasional sound of distant gunfire issuing from an army base located just over the hill.
