Hot Air


How does a busy man unwind? This film looks at a businessman’s enthusiasm for hot air ballooning which led to his company sponsoring a Balloon Meet. The camping and careful preparations that make ballooning possible have their own gentle pace and supportive teamwork. Birdsong accompanies the aerial views of the Suffolk landscape. Less relaxing perhaps for the vehicle teams who chase the balloons along the lanes, but it's a welcome antidote to everyday working life.
