The Flicker of Time describes Pip’s life as a film editor. “This is a wonderful book. It explains all the practical and subtle artistic aspects so well. Although superficially the process is mechanical, in the end you end up feeling it’s poetry. It should be available reading in every film school.” Mischa Scorer, documentary film producer and director.

A personal story, full of incidental insights, yet one that addresses larger questions. How do we perceive time as we view a film? How do we portray and evaluate the contemporary world?

A memoir about family, filmmaking and dexterity. I severely burnt my hands as a child and for me meaning in life comes from a slow attention to things. My love of nature comes from my father, Oliver Heywood, who was a landscape painter.

A second autobiography, taking as its starting-point my notebooks and travel diaries, many unopened for decades. A book about travelling, home, landscape and time – a thoughtful search for a sense of belonging.
