Ceri opens with a narrative on aesthetic dispelling the history of its critical conception and regaling the origins of the Academy in philosophy. His decidedly academic background informs his discussions of a desire not only for the two to meet, but for their cooperations to be creative and determine content. He claims that collaborations should meet at postgraduate level and that their future unions should be based on process not on product. This discussion serves as introduction to the creative process of the Aberfan documentary.
The story of this film begins with Anna, who discovered the work of Shimon Attie in her MA studies, at the same time as her partner Dai was approached by the valley's community to produce an honest documentary of the village. Here the two collide as they ponder the approach that will best represent and service the community. Shimon's processes and philosophies historically reflect the desires of the Aberfan people as he works with Cathartic resolve in sites of trauma. With Shimon's involvement the ideas augment and the production begins.
This session portrays a positive and productive collaboration between the academy and industry, with flecks of honesty that do not deny the conflicts and tensions of such unity. This is an inspiring tale for content based future collaboration, with the material evidence that supports its cause.
