Paper Story - A Celebration of Heritage

Animator Paul Martin uses Strata Stencil animation to explore the meaning of Heritage and reasons to celebrate it:

This is our father's land
This is the soil they ploughed
The stone they turned to shelter
This is where they lie

This is their heritage in my veins
These are the moments passed through time
I am the guardian of my past,
My present, my children's future

Our time is brief
But our songs and works live on 
Let us not grieve for what is lost
But love and celebrate what we still have
Eachother and the wonders around us

This was created as part of a collaboration between Heritage Open Days and the Met Film School. For further information, click HERE
