A short film about the Welsh Harp, also known as the Brent Reservoir. This is an entry in the Film Brent in 90 Seconds Competition promoting Brent to a visiting Olympic athlete in 2012. The Welsh Harp is my favourite green and blue space in the London Borough of Brent where I can commune with nature and reflect on art . Constructed in the 1830's as a reservoir supplying the Grand Union Canal, it is now an important nature reserve and Site of Special Scientific Interest, particularly noted for the diversity of its nesting waterfowl. It's about 10 miles from central London and just a few minutes away from Wembley Stadium, home to English football.

If you see on the video, there are two vehicles, one at the left, of the street's maintenance, and at right its a butchers van. Just the left vehicle received the fine, although it was the only one that should have been permitted to stop in the rood, because it had to work there,with a caterpillar. I recorded the situation, with the intention to make a formal complain at the APCOA office, the office for parking of Brent council here in London. I wait coments from everybody, and I suggest you to give a look also at my blog (the link is here below) www.santinopani.com

6.83 min. | 5.0 user rating		 This is my artistic response to the tragic and horrendous consequences of knife and gun crime using footage from the Not Another Drop Peace March held in the London Borough of Brent on the 26th September 2009. I have lived in the London borough of Brent for most of my life and have noted with sadness how gun and knife related crime has increased over the past few decades. Growing up as a teen in the borough, I have my own personal story to tell of the hollow machismo involved in handling a knife when a friend had loaned me his flick knife for a few days. Thankfully, I never got a chance to use it. Not Another Drop is a community led campaign that was launched in 2001 to prevent gun and knife related crime in Brent: www.notanotherdrop.com Constantine Gras is a visual artist who uses the medium of photography, film-making and painting to explore cultural, environmental and philosophical issues: web.mac.com web.me.com
