Clip description
Echoes is a 23-minute film within the film, composed entirely of George Greenough’s footage from inside the curl of the wave – the legendary 'green room’. The camera, with specially designed wide-angle lens, was usually mounted on his back, or on the front of his kneeboard.
Curator’s notes
This footage was a revelation when first shown – no one had ever captured so much of the beauty and power of waves. Pink Floyd’s song gives the film a powerful emotional pull.
