Magnificent Ray

Magnificent Ray explores the western by focusing on gender relations in a confluence of the dream movie genre and everyday life. Filmed on location in Bridport and Portland in West Dorset, and featuring locals as extras and principal players, Florence encounters Ray a subtle souled girl slipping into forgetfulness. Their journey from showdown to slowdown explores the nature of dreams whilst sensing a narrative. Miles teases out the glamorous cowgirl/boy image in teenage girls through music and costume as they adventure through a rich, wild, western landscape. - Jo Lanyon, Director of Picture This Moving Image from the catalogue to the show
