“It was whilst doing research that I discovered images of a film that immediately swept me away with its beauty and force: director Victor Sjöström’s The Wind. ‘Shot under difficult conditions in the Mojave Desert (United States) in 1928, this hard, brilliant melodrama is unquestionably a key silent film. It describes the relationship between Man and Nature in a drama that unfolds in a rural setting of extraordinary beauty and highly moving lyrical sweep.”
