“Heart Valley” illustrates the simplicity of Wilf Davies’s routines. He has no Internet access, gets his news by radio, and eats the same dinner each day.
Last spring, the filmmaker Christian Cargill drove roughly six hours from London to the Teifi valley in western Wales to meet a septuagenarian shepherd living in the remote village of Cellan and explain why he wanted to make a film about him. Cargill found Wilf Davies eating lunch in his van and introduced himself.
The resulting film, “Heart Valley,” illustrates the simplicity of Davies’s routines. He was born down the road from what is now his farm, into a family that has worked the land in the area for six generations. He has left the region only a few times in his life, and has left Wales only once, decades ago, to visit a farm in England. He has no Internet access, gets his news by radio, and eats the same dinner each day.
When “Heart Valley” was nearly complete, Cargill drove back to Cellan with a monitor and set it up in Davies’s barn, where he screened the film for Davies and a few others. Davies watched intently, sometimes laughing at himself and sometimes becoming emotional. He seemed less interested in the film as a reflection of his own experiences than as a record of the farming life style that he has seen become increasingly rare.
