Chapters One to Five

'Chapters One to Five' is the third film in the Astrid series 2010-14. The series features the young Astrid Everall, between the ages of seven and eleven. Astrid is seen engaging in wholesome craft activities: cutting out shapes from coloured papers and suspending them as mobiles. She operates in interiors re-constructed from 1970s home improvement magazines, and the tone is something between Blue Peter and Steiner School: idealised, creative, clean and purposeful.
