"A boldly original take on the documentary short ... the effect is nothing short of mesmerizing. Moreover, Purcell’s vividly realized visuals – incorporating all new HD footage shot on board a Concorde – lends the film a digital age immediacy and wow factor that is hard to beat."
Tomas Romero, aviation journalist
Official selection Doc Heads International Film Festival London, 2019
Ode to Concorde is unique in that it consists entirely of all newly shot footage and specially created animation. It features contributions from a large array of Concorde connected people, leading figures, both British and French, who were closely involved in its design, development and operation. Their evocative insights are fascinating and their admiration and pride for this aircraft is palpable.
