En simtur i en engelsk vallgrav tar oss in i den brittiska genren nature writing. Och finns det en motsvarighet i Sverige? Om och med författare som Roger Deakin, Kathleen Jamie och Helena Granström. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. För 25 år sedan startade en våg av brittiska naturböcker. Roger Deakin var med boken ”Waterlog” en av dem som öppnade dammluckorna och snart svämmade bokhandlarna över av naturböcker med en personlig touch. Genren fick till och med ett namn – nature writing.Naturmorgons Mats Ottosson har gjort hembesök hos två av författarna i genren – i Edinburgh hos skotska Kathleen Jamie som skrivit böckerna ”Findings”, ”Sightlines” och ”Surfacing”, och så hos tidigare nämnda Roger Deakin i Suffolk. Han är visserligen avliden sedan 2006 men det går att hälsa på där han bodde, Walnut tree farm. Det går till och med att ta en simtur i vattendraget ”the moat” i Deakins anda – det var här han fick idén här att simma sig genom Storbritanniens alla åar och floder, det som sedan blev boken Waterlog. Sagt och gjort, Mats Ottosson tog en grön simtur här, och passade också på att intervjua naturjournalisten Patrick Barkham som skrivit en biografi om Roger Deakin.Dagens program tar alltså avstamp i den brittiska genren nature writing, men undersöker också svenska naturskildringar. Från Harry Martinson till Helena Granström. Den senare möter vi i ett samtal om vilken natur som är viktigast att skildra, kalhygget eller gammelskogen? Och hur man beskriver naturen på naturens sätt, där arterna får ta plats – samtidigt som många i Sverige idag inte kan namnen på dem eller har egna personliga erfarenheter av naturen.Vi ringer också upp Daniel Sandström, förläggaren som gav ut boken ”Ålevangeliet”. Varför blev just den en succé, behöver vi fler sådana böcker och borde vi också ha en genre som ”nature writing” i Sverige?Mikael Niemi medverkar med en nyskriven kråkvinkel just på temat att skriva om naturen.I studion finns både reporter Mats Ottosson och programledare Jenny Berntson Djurvall.

En el episodio de hoy hablamos de Billy Wilder y su «El gran carnaval». Con sus historias sobre redención, miseria y condición humana, sobre las tentaciones, las imitaciones y los caminos que han de seguirse. Hablamos sobre Kirk Douglas, sobre malos y villanos y sobre la masa, el rebaño y la jauría como el malo de la película. No sé si el populacho se enfadó con Wilder en su momento por haber pagado esos cinco dólares de entrada para descubrir en el cine que son unos miserables, pero nosotros de buena gana pagamos por disfrutar de este peliculón y la charleta de después.

Welcome to Director Watch! On this AwardsWatch podcast, co-hosts Ryan McQuade and Jay Ledbetter attempt to breakdown, analyze, and ultimately, get inside the mind of some of cinema's greatest auteurs. In doing so, they will look at their filmographies, explore what drives them artistically and what makes their decision making process so fascinating. Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. On episode 8 of the Director Watch Podcast, they are joined by AwardsWatch Editor-In-Chief Erik Anderson discuss the next film in their Denis Villeneuve series, Prisoners (2013). After breaking through on the festival circuit in America with Incendies, as well as receiving an Oscar nomination for Best International Feature, Villeneuve took some time off riding the success of his acclaimed film. He returned to cinemas in 2013, directing his first Hollywood studio project, Prisoners, a story involving the search for two missing young girls in Pennsylvania. Focusing on two perspectives, one being the father of one of the missing girls (Hugh Jackman) and the detective trying to solve the case (Jake Gyllenhaal), this bleak mystery thriller was a surprise hit back in 2013, as well as considered by many of his fans to be Villeneuve's best. In this episode, Ryan, Jay and Erik break down the symbolism shown throughout the film (SNAKES, PUZZLES), Jackman and Gyllenhaal's performances, Paul Dano's punchable face, Melissa Leo's wig, Roger Deakin's cinematography, the film's ridiculous logic, and if it is a David Fincher knockoff. You can listen to the Director Watch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more. This podcast runs 1h35m. The guys will be back next week to continue their Denis Villeneuve series with a look at Enemy.

In this episode of The Writing Life, NCW Chief Executive Chris Gribble speaks with writer Patrick Barkham about the process of writing his new book The Swimmer, and how he found ways to ‘hear' the voice of an author whose work he knew well, but who he never met. Patrick Barkham is an award-winning author and natural history writer for the Guardian. His books include The Butterfly Isles, Badgerlands, Islander and Wild Child. He is President of Norfolk Wildlife Trust and lives in Norfolk with his family. His new book The Swimmer is a creative biography of the late writer, filmmaker and environmentalist Roger Deakin. The book is told primarily in the words of the subject himself, with support from a chorus of friends, family, colleagues, lovers and neighbours. Together, they touch on the impact and legacy of Roger, as one of the forerunners of the new nature writing movement, the ethics of biography, and the hard graft of reconstructing a life from the myriad of physical and emotional traces a writer has left behind.

Welcome to Episode 191. Chad Gilchrist, grip and lighting guru extraordinaire, and Director of Photography for “Taking Carentan”, joins the podcast today to talk about the Top 5 skills every cinematographer needs to develop in order to be successful. Before we get into the episode, I wanted to let you know we're starting something really new. We have extra bonus content exclusively for our Patreon supporters. And this week, it's going to be an extended interview with Chad talking about his work on Steven Spielberg's favorite show of the year, “The Bear”. You don't want to miss this! Chad comes to the team with an amazing wealth of knowledge and skills from a variety of projects with some pretty impressive films. This episode's focus is on The Top 5 Skills every aspiring cinematographer needs to develop and why those skills are important. > Tip No.1: Develop a strong network. Build friendships and relationships. There is a ripple effect in networking. A key to networking is not seeing what one can get out of it for him or herself. The question rather is: Am I genuinely curious about other people? There really is a butterfly effect. You don't know where and when the fruits will blossom from the seeds that you planted years ago, but it is always important to keep planting seeds. > Tip No.2: Learn the techniques, technical skills, and then remember that it's about how you use them. “Creativity with what you have is filmmaking…Make it great with what you have” – Jason Rugg > Tip No.3: Go do the thing! > Tip No.4: Learn great communication. It matters how you manage people, it matters how you communicate, learning how to work with others is critical to success. > Tip No.5: Be flexible and adaptable. Filmmaking is never the thing that you pictured it being – ever. Chad and Jason expound on technology and resources useful to them from experience. They give a couple of situations when networking was a good thing for them to do.

Welcome to the Blue Million Miles: Dispatches from a Swim Through Alabama. You can listen to an audio version of this intro post above or you can read it below — they’re the same, give or take a field recording and music by the Skull Island Inquirer.Like all the best swims do, my first this year came spur of the moment. This was a few months back, late March. After one of those Zoom calls. If you’ve ever Zoom-ed then surely you know the kind I’m talking about. The rare experience that might justify the use of a word like ennervating. Anyway, after I hung up, I realized there was a window of time before I had to go pick up my daughter. Typically when that happens, I fill the time by crawling under my desk and groaning.You might hear that and think that I must have been in a bad place. I’m not sure that I would say that, though. I wouldn’t say I was much of anywhere, really. Not fully oriented to time and space. Maybe you’ve felt something like that lately? An… uncanniness? The latency of the video call carrying over, off-screen. Maybe it’s just me. Maybe it’s that I work in a basement office with no windows, and I’d been sitting there for months, trying — and mostly failing — to track down sources for a story, hearing every variety of “This phone is no longer in service.” (which, by the way, there are way more variations than I’d imagined or ever really thought possible.) Maybe it’s that the past two years have taken a toll on me that I haven’t really admitted to yet, haven’t worked through. And I haven’t slept or written much lately, leaving my sense-making faculties at an all-time low. So okay maybe it is just me. Maybe. But also maybe not? Doesn’t something just seem a little off? The number you have dialed is no longer in service.Which, I mean, go figure. You don’t need to be an armchair psychologist to try and account for the bad vibes, as it were, the strangest of the moment  — one of illness, neglect, death, insurrection, war, despair, collapse, isolation. And it’s like the weight of all that, it exerts a gravity, creates its own tide, and we’re caught in it, headed out to sea.I feel that, anyway.But so that day, after the video call, for whatever blessed reason, instead of my usual brooding, drifting, I thought to go swimming instead.There’s a state park on the outskirts of Auburn, Alabama, where I live. Thanks to the work of the Civilian Conservation Corps, that park has a lake. That lake has a roped-off section for swimming. And, that afternoon, I had the place to myself. I walked through the shallows until the water came to mid-thigh then I plunged, dolphin kicking for as long as my breath would hold. I surfaced out by the rope. This was March, but, you know, Alabama March — the water was already bathwater warm in parts, still bracing cold in others. I paddled an easy, aimless breaststroke for a time, admired a scrim of pollen on the water’s surface, watched the clouds above glide into the tree line. I climbed onto the concrete jetty just to be able to dive into the water again. I couldn’t tell you how long I was out there. Time had escaped me, but for once it was welcome.Two years ago, while I was waiting for Ozzie to be born — Ozzie, that’s my daughter’s name — I sat down to write her a letter. Or, if not a letter, exactly, just…I wanted to set down on paper what I knew about life. Epiphanies. Insights I’d gleaned. Some fatherly advice.I had one pearl of wisdom off the top of my head. Once, while we were having dessert together, my father looked at me from across the picnic table and observed that I had come to know one of the deep truths of the universe: that you should always let your Klondike bar melt a bit before eating.So I wrote that down. Let the Klondike melt a little. Got it.Okay. But what else? Huh. I bit my knuckle. Doodled. Did I really have nothing else to impart? I had to stand and pace the room in order to beat back the antsiness that turned to panic that turned to dread about the person I’d become, the life I’d squandered. How unqualified I was to be responsible for another life, a young innocent child who may not even like Klondike bars.Then, with forehead-slapping clarity, it came to me. I sat back down and wrote this sentence:You should swim whenever the opportunity presents itself and you should live in such a way that you’re creating those opportunities with regularity.And…that’s it. I’m looking at that page in my diary right now and that’s all I wrote down: Let the Klondike bar melt and swim whenever possible. And you know what? Looking back, I stand by it.Do you know that Loudon Wainright tune? “The Swimming Song”? This summer I went swimming, it goes. This summer I might have drowned. But I held my breath and I kicked my feet and I moved my arms around. Love that song. Find yourself in deep water and there’s nothing to do but swim. You’re weightless, buoyant. Like you’re on another planet. Or back where you were when you first came into this one.That afternoon in March, when I finally clambered out onto the bank, I was goose-pimpled and humming. Glad I’d taken my own advice for once. And so it was with soggy shorts and an idiot grin I hadn’t worn in some months that I went to pick up my daughter from daycare.There’s a book by the environmental writer Roger Deakin called Waterlog: A Swimmer’s Journey Through Britain. Published in 1999, the book chronicles a series of swims in the rivers, ponds, pools, and seas throughout the country, with digressions into memoir, natural and cultural history. For Deakin, swimming — wild swimming, that’s what they call there (say what you will about the English, they know how to turn a phrase) — was a subversive activity, one that allowed you to “regain a sense of what is old and wild…by getting off the beaten track and breaking free of the official versions of things.” It affords a “frog’s-eye view” of the world, as he put it. If you’re in search of something, wild swimming’s not a bad way to go looking for it. About a decade after Waterlog was first published, Joe Minihane, a freelance writer in London, retraced Deakin’s steps, revisiting the swimming holes documented in Waterlog. Those trips became the basis for Minihane’s own book, Floating: A Life Regained. As the subtitle might suggest, wild swimming became a balm for Minihane’s anxieties about work and life.No surprise, maybe, that I related to Minihane — saw my anxieties about how to work, how to write, how to move through the world reflected in his own. Did I see the spine of his book on my shelf that afternoon when I knocked off early and hit the lake? Not consciously, but the mind is funny like that.I mention those two swimmers, those two writers, those two books because this summer I’m going to take my own advice and follow in Deakin’s and Minihane’s footsteps — err, breaststrokes: I’m going to swim through Alabama, seeking out the best swimming holes the state has to offer — Appalachia foothills to Mobile Bay; Double Spring to Wildwood Shores. I’m gonna hold my breath and kick my feet and move my arms around.And I’ll chronicle those trips here.I should say: I’m not a southerner by birth. I don’t carry the weight of that particular circumstance. But this summer starts my tenth year living here — the longest I’ve lived anywhere. I love it here. And hate it, too. And, for better and for worse, the place has had a profound impact on me, my work, and my understanding of my place in this country. I apprenticed as a writer here and wrote my first book here — a book about this state and its tortured past. I fell in love here, got married here, became a father here, and am raising my child here. So, I keep asking myself, where am I, exactly? What’s it like to be here, now? Is there a there still there? What’s become of this place? What’s it becoming? I don’t want to retreat from life. I want to get back out in it. A meander through its waterways seems as good a way to do it as any.If you’ve spent any time in Alabama, it might seem self-evident that someone would want to seek out the best swimming holes here. If you haven't spent much time in Alabama, the notion that you’d want to do much of anything here might seem strange. But despite its national reputation as a shittown, a backwater, Alabama is also a place of staggering beauty. One of the most biodiverse places in the country. And it’s full of choice swim spots. Or, you know, the ones that haven’t been ravaged by chicken plant runoff and coal ash.So I’m off to go see what I can see; swim where I can swim. You can follow along here, every other Monday.

Shot in a single take on a single night at a London restaurant, the movie has inspired Ellen and Mark to take a closer look at one-shot films and those that appear to be. What does the one-shot do for a movie? Is it any more than showing off? Boiling Point stars Stephen Graham as an under-pressure chef whose life is unravelling over a busy night in the restaurant. Ellen talks to director Philip Barantini, himself a former chef, about his decision to film the feature as a “oner” and the pressures that caused.  On the front page of the script for 1917 Sam Mendes had written, "This is envisioned as a single shot,". Mark speaks to legendary cinematographer Roger Deakin about how he realised the director's vision for the First World War epic. And, fresh from her victory at the British Independent Film Awards, Boiling Point star Vinette Robinson shares what she's been watching in Viewing Notes. Screenshot is Radio 4's guide through the ever-expanding universe of the moving image. Every episode, Ellen E Jones and Mark Kermode journey through the main streets and back roads connecting film, television and streaming over the last hundred years.

Land and sea meet in a dance of littoral literature on this week's episode, in which two writers train their minds on overlooked expanses. Gillian Osborne considers the American lawn, a private buffer expressing our nostalgia for common spaces. Leanne Shapton takes us into open water, where swimmers find vulnerability, wonder, and a sense of scale. They examine how great writers have drawn inspiration from the outdoors and crafted lyrical prose that unsettles the barriers between humans and nature, past and present, death and life. First, Harper's Magazine web editor Violet Lucca speaks with Leanne Shapton about the work of the writer, activist, and filmmaker Roger Deakin, which Shapton reviewed in the August issue of Harper's. Like Deakin, Shapton is an experienced swimmer (she once participated in two Olympic tryouts), and she uses her marine inclinations to understand Deakin's travel memoir Waterlog: A Swimmer's Journey Through Britain, as well as his life and politics. Only a lucky few can swim regularly from a young age, and Shapton discusses her desire that the experience of open-water swimming—as one means of being “with” nature, rather than “in and on it”—might be made available to people of all ages and cultural backgrounds. Next, Lucca speaks with Gillian Osborne. Last month, Nightboat Books published Osborne's first essay collection, Green Green Green, which was excerpted in the July issue of Harper's. Osborne declares that the color green's “layering of possible meanings is uncanny,” then launches into a poetic history of the American lawn. As she testifies in her conversation, she is interested in the lawn's ability to evoke absence or emptiness—a quality she also finds in great short poetry. For Osborne, who seeks to make space for “responsive” rather than merely “responsible” reading, the experience of literature is always entwined with what writers and readers are not presently looking at—the vibrant vegetal world in which they sit.

In today's episode we visit Ranscombe Bottom, Morgan's Hill and the very spooky Furze Knoll following a route that Glyn wrote about in his blog dated 17 September 2020. Use the link below for Glyn's superb photographs and a description of the walk including the route map.    But before doing so we have a chat about what we've been up since the last podcast including a recce for a future blog and podcast; a white out in blizzard conditions; and Glyn's walk around the Fonthill Estate.  We also recommend the trilogy written by local author Nick Cowen about the rambles of a young Henry Chalk, Pedestrian Tourist, who wanders through south Wiltshire in the early 19th century including his challenge to trespass into the Fonthill Estate and climb the Fonthill Folly before being caught. Paul's challenge was to say the word “tour”! You'll find a link to the publishers of Nick Cowen's book below.   Then on to the walk. This walk takes us from Ozzie's Kebab van in the layby on the A4 at Quemerford Gate to the remarkable landscape of Ranscombe Bottom via the springs that are the source of the River Marden – a beautiful, peaceful spot filled with birdsong. From the Bottom we head towards the Roman road from Bath to Speen near Newbury and we debate what constitutes a dull Roman road! Then a stiff climb up to Morgan's Hill with its grizzly past and World War I connections as a Zeppelin listening station. From there it was a hop skip and a jump to the mysterious and frankly quite creepy Furze Knoll. Finally we head to Calstone Wellington and its magnificent church and mill, before heading back in search of a kebab.   Also on the walk we discuss the remarkable graffiti in St Mary's Church, Calstone Wellington, the earliest (that we found) dating back to 1647, and the unlikely sounding Wiltshire Medieval Graffiti Survey website.   During the course of the podcast we spend a disproportionate amount of time discussing the thorny issue of blocked public rights of way, something we encounter several times on the walk. And it's a subject we'll return to in the next podcast. It's becoming a bit of theme!   We finish with a reminder about the offer to listeners of the podcast from Lowa Boots UK. You'll need to listen to the podcast for details of how you can save 20% off their walking boots and shoes.   The music and sounds in the podcast are provided by the multi-talented Steve Dixon.

From the Yangtze Valley, to Neolithic Mesopotamia, to the orchards of Oxford, Roger Deakin sought to understand the origins of the domesticated apple. His essay East of Eden—an excerpted chapter from his book Wildwood: A Journey Through Trees—recounts his journey into the wild fruit forests that grow on the mountainsides of Kazakhstan. After Roger’s death in 2006, Robert MacFarlane planted a sapling grown from an apple seed that Roger carried home. As ‘Roger’s tree’ now fruits in his yard, Robert collects the pips to distribute to others, envisioning a “worldwide wildwood of memory-trees.” This essay is narrated by Robert Macfarlane.

Roger Deakin glides quietly amongst the moorhens as he paddles his canoe, Cigarette, through the shallows of the River Waveney to discover the sounds of the river and its wildlife. Canoeing the Waveney from one Suffolk mill to the next you enter another world, quiet except for the sounds of the river and its wildlife. Cigarette on the Waveney combines a personal narration by writer and conservationist Roger Deakin, recorded during the journey over several days and nights, with an evocative soundscape of the River Waveney and its changing moods. Roger's journey takes him from the river's source at Redgrave Fen in Suffolk to Geldeston Lock in Norfolk. The Waveney is a secret, reclusive river that forms the boundary between Norfolk and Suffolk, and steeped in history; from the martyrdom of St Edmund at Hoxne to the stalking of the wily chub in the reeds of Medham Marshes. Roger's transport is a canoe called Cigarette. It's named after the craft in which Robert Louis Stevenson voyaged through the waterways of Belgium and France in 1876. Cigarette is a Canadian style canoe, long and broad, which moves silently and stealthily through the water. It allows Roger to get close to the wildlife in the reeds and the shallows; the otters, moorhens, kingfishers, herons and an occasional hissing swan. The soundscape captures the trickling of water beneath the streamlined canoe and the whisper of the wind in the reeds, to the sounds of night on the river bank and a well-earned pint at Geldeston Locks at the journey's end. Produced by Sarah Blunt. First broadcast in 2005.

It seems like a good thing to have a strategy for keeping sane. For that strategy to be wild swimming feels counter intuitive. Especially when so many non swimmers’ response to us is ‘you must be mad!’ In this week’s episode, my guest Miriam talks about how wild swimming helped her overcome anxiety. Which is odd when we also explore the sense of dread and conflict we get as we prepare to head out to do a wild swim, especially in winter. How can something that creates such inner conflict be good for us? I can relate to all of this. At the moment I am in the grip of the worst bout of anxiety I can remember experiencing. Getting into near freezing water gives me a therapeutic sense of taking a huge breath in and letting it go, and with it releasing all the tension I’m carrying around. If only for a short while. I need it. It’s saving me. Miriam then expands on how she uses this to deal with other challenges in her life. I’ve never really thought about harnessing the inner strength and determination I have when it comes to fighting the inner conflict which I will not let get in the way of me swimming. To then apply this to other situations that scare me and make me doubt myself is genius. Like Miriam says, “you know you can get into 4 degree water in awful weather – I’m sure you can do those other things in your life that you fear – they are probably easier in many ways.” She’s right. So my challenge for this week is to bring my inner wild swimmer into the rest of my life – when I’m fronting a big event at work this week; when I’m dealing with conflict in a relationship; when I’m driving in horrendous weather on roads I don’t know. Anyone who recognises any of this should consider getting in touch to be a future guest. We can now record interviews over the internet so no matter where you are in the world, you can get involved and share your own reasons for swimming and what it means to you.
