How do we jointly construct and maintain the webs of ordinary support that make life ‘liveable’; and what is it that can make the giving and receiving of such support difficult? How do we understand everyday help? As acts of kindness? As something to be ‘paid back’ or reciprocated? What do people think and feel about such interactions with those close to them and with others? These questions lie at the heart of the film project “Flowers & Floorboards”. Commissioned by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation

directed by Holger Mohaupt Not One Is Forgotten “The slender tops fairly flapped and swished in the passionate torrent, bending and swirling backward and forward, round and round, tracing indescribable combinations of vertical and horizontal curves, while I clung with muscles firm braced, like a bobo-link on a reed. . . . I kept my lofty perch for hours, frequently closing my eyes to enjoy the music by itself, or to feast quietly on the delicious fragrance that was streaming past.” A short film inspired by the naturalist John Muir, who revels in his essay “A Wind-storm in the Forests” his experience of climbing to the top of a tree and riding it for hours through a wild Sierra storm. As he writes, “the danger to life and limb is hardly greater than one would experience crouching deprecatingly beneath a roof.”
