Robert Todd feels things through landscape.  In the first film of his I saw, fields bristled in sunlight, the hirsute stems of Queen Anne's lace lit by the rising sun.  Like the psychoanalyst Gaston Bachelard, Todd thinks that all materiality contains a metaphysics of unseen relations.  
"Life shivers as the ground beneath and sky above tremble," he writes.
