Synopsis

A left field take on a music video, making synchronicity a binary conclusion by allocating a single light switch to the arrival of each instrument.

Synopsis

A journey behind closed eyelids.

Tokyo Dreams is a short Zen-like film about sleeping commuters on the Tokyo subway.

Shooting without the knowledge of his subjects, director Nicholas Barker contemplates the stillness and vulnerability of his fellow passengers and wonders whether they will wake in time for their stop…

In a departure from candid filmmaking, Tokyo Dreams deploys a highly formal ‘photographic’ film style and extremely high production values.

Synopsis

An exploration of the mystical subconscious rituals that govern our lives and bind us or drive us apart. As constant and as intangible as the seasons of the earth; that ebb and flow like the tide; that nourish like a mother and torment like an unseen demon

Synopsis

Lost and found images combined through systematic obscuration trigger suggestion and memories in distant locations.

Synopsis

A building which has stood since the fourteenth century, and a strange attempt at preservation.

Synopsis

Richmond on Thames has two River Gods, identical reclining nudes in middle age, who pour the river waters out from urns.

Synopsis

Scenes appropriated from Antonioni’s famous film L’Avventura are centred on Monica Vitti as the central subject. The constant alternating positive and negative image appears to vary with the percussive sound of Gamelan music.

Synopsis

Dummy Jim is playfully adapted from the little-known journal 'I Cycled Into The Arctic Circle' (1951) by profoundly deaf cyclist James Duthie, who one day set off alone on his bicycle from a village in Scotland, bound for Morocco. How did he end up in the Arctic Circle?

Led by deaf actor Samuel Dore on an increasingly bizarre 6000 mile journey, this eccentric road movie mixes documentary, fiction and animation. Killed on the road in '65, the film memorializes a quiet, determined maverick whilst offering an honest insight into his community, with village inhabitants emerging as creative participants and performers.

At 4.00 am on Tuesday 13th February 1996, a man tries to murder his wife. Implicit, dissociated and somatic elements of this traumatic memory are explored through the juxtaposition of images of light, flesh, blood and text in this silent, autobiographical film.
