A quietly poignant domestic film made of images gathered around the house and its surroundings over a two-year period. The title might seem self-explanatory, we do see pillows, bowls, roses, trees – but also curtains, tablecloths, saucers, other trees and flowers (in the garden and arranged on vases). We sense the changing seasons and we sense a lived-in space – one that is shared as the pillow arrangements suggest. Working with a Bolex camera involves a tension between the technology and the world surrounding the filmmaker, the maximum shot length is limited to around 20 seconds because of the windup spring motor.

Presented as a series of visual field recordings captured on expired 16mm film and staged interventions in place, Come On Pilgrim originates in the experience of the filmmaker living in a flat overlooking the Mayflower steps in Plymouth (UK). This location provided a jumping-off point to interrogate histories of settler-colonialism, identity, and mythos in the surrounding landscape, from the viewpoint of a recent immigrant. These histories are related in fragmentary fashion by community members in a collage of voices, contrasting with monumental narratives set in stone. Throughout the film, history rubs against absurdity and elements of folk tradition. Fellow immigrants are rendered visible in everyday situations, protests are documented, a wizard invents an empire, vinyl is vandalized, and Anglo-Saxon re-enactors trek through the moors, gesturing towards waves of settlement on the island currently known as Great Britain

But Olivier has decided to ignore this countdown. He intends to live life to the fullest, in spite of his handicap, and make the most of every second. We follow his new daily life, as a committed entrepreneur with a passion for technology, as a father concerned about preserving his cocoon, as a patient with an incurable disease.
