Moments of Being

Short documentaries and adventures in sound about 'moments of being'. Presented by Josie Long.

Josie Long presents short documentaries and adventures in sound inspired by Virginia Woolf's idea of Moments of Being.

"I find that scene making is my natural way of marking the past. Always a scene has arranged itself: representative; enduring. This confirms me in my instinctive notion (it will not bear arguing about; it is irrational) the sensation that we are sealed vessels afloat on what it is convenient to call reality; and at some moments, the sealing matter cracks; in floods reality; that is, these scenes - for why do they survive undamaged year after year unless they are made of something comparatively permanent?"
