Scarecrow from Fresh Label on Vimeo. A furrowed field. The end of winter. The distant cawing of crows. A couple of farm workers turn up with a bundle of sticks and a pile of old clothes. They build a scarecrow. This is the story of a lonely scarecrow and a bunch of noisy crows. It’s about solitude and community in hard, hard times. The scarecrow hates the crows. Well that’s what you’d expect. But every time he chases them off they just keep coming back. The crows can take or leave the scarecrow. They’re too busy squabbling, eating and living their lives. All he wants is to be left alone. We follow their relationship over a year, from their beginnings as enemies, to their conclusion as grudging friends. |
