Lime and Tuesday is a short music film produced in 2025 by Mark Howden for music artist Terns. It is the third of five songs from the near complete Dreams EP due out soon in 2025. 

Using abstract and cinematic camera techniques and editing, the film intercuts between memories or possible dream sequences and a kind of observational documentation of the journey. Venturing beyond superficial documentation, the film creates a narrative that is never quite captured or contained, portraying a unique personal compilation of conscious states which evoke an intimate viewpoint that remains nostalgically distant. 

The work is an exploration of multiple perspectives of the “journey” through different times and spaces, alluding to the various conscious states one experiences during travel where one is not necessarily in one place and time. Ranging from full alertness to altered states like daydreaming or sleep, these states reflect how we think, feel and perceive our surroundings at any given moment. The idea is that the journey occurs both in reality and in one’s mind and is in fact happening in several spaces simultaneously. 

The film utilises text or dialogue (including Russian Cyrillic characters) from Andrei Tarkovsky’s 1983 film Nostalghia (released as Nostalgia in the United Kingdom). Tarkovsky co-wrote the screenplay with Italian poet Tonino Guerra.
