Silent days in the park: a film-maker's eerie record

Article Abstract:

The fact that television is under great pressure to explain events can be a serious problem, according to television director Richard Alwyn. He did not feel this pressure when he decided to make a documentary about the reaction to the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, as reflected in events in Hyde Park, London, England. He was fascinated by the public reaction to the tragedy, and spent a lot of time photographing and interviewing people who had gathered in Hyde Park. He wanted to convey the mystery of the public reaction, rather than dwelling on its more extreme manifestations.
