Alan Van Wijgerden - Video and audio transcripts

I have to have something in production or I'm not happy I suppose my personal theory is ending up in an old people's home joining him with community singing and getting on my Zimmer frame I hope I've brought new years to go but maybe with retirement my best work is yet to come I've been producing films in carbon-free around for around 30 years I'd say sent to Coventry was a West Midlands Arts funded film the grant was three thousand the 1992 at the time it wasn't wrong cast because they thought it wasn't funny which is a bit ironic scene is now real and thinks it's hilarious schools I went to this junior school and this senior school they had here at seeing his scores very strict about school uniform we even had to wear white Underpants and have them inspected regularly we got the whacky flavor blew the head got shocked to the press about that slightly before its time in in the atop of anything maybe the jump cut everything I was the keep activity the idea was almost it was postcards from home door nary was the name for the woman that didn't think it was worth putting on didn't think it was funny my training goes back to the early 70s when TVs had valves in them recently I've gone into reading poetry writing it that's the recent thing a lot of dialogue among more successful projects has been slightly poetic lay on the valley Bonds was leave France better than blue none John and John were beginning to make out behind the living room sofa as Anne tried to clear the room for them so many yesterday 72 days see you sliding down a wall near you sometime I may be pissed but I'm still sentence sentian where is the low okay so so this started about six months ago and I first heard about fire and dust and my work in the in the lyric it not the lyrics hidden the dialogue of these somewhat poetic so I thought I'd have a go and I went along and had a go and I got quite hooked on it and everyone at fire and just was really supportive and I came to realize that there was a really diverse and interesting and lots of different styles of him poetry in Coventry so having been a filmmaker 30 years I thought it'd be a good topic for documentary I think the main thing for me is I want to express my own skewed [ __ ] up perceptions of the world whatever that might be worth and it's the creativity bit so I suppose that inspires me and trying to get hold of that entity so it's something I'm in control of something I need to do that I'm obsessed by but it also needs to take me in in an into a into an area that is unpredict
