He and She fell in love. She was banished, so now he waits. They promised to meet halfway if she could ever escape from below.
Yet now she’s arrived, he can barely look at her.
A story of love lost, found, returned and burned.
A 75 minute piece of Artist Cinema.
A re-representation of self. The focus of this externalisation is exorcism of increasing toxic thought captured, tamed and framed. An individual defined as something enclosed, divided, consisting of two parts, primitive and educated. In turmoil, the dual being stands both in the shared world and it’s own.
'blocked' is an experimental take on an unsettling instance from a 9 year old boy's life. It explores the feeling of claustrophobia and panic through a medical condition that the boy deals with.
Taking its name from an alternative reading of the name for the Bodhisattva of Compassion, Kannon, KanZeOn, which can be translated as "she who hears the cries of the world", is an unorthodox but utterly magical meditation on sound and the ritual and philosophical role it plays in Japanese Buddhism. Filmed in Kyushu, the film looks at, and more importantly listens to, three very special Japanese musicans: Akinobu Tatsumi, the young Buddhist priest and custodian of a temple outside of Kumamoto City who moonlights as a hip-hop DJ while indulges his love of beat boxing in the remote forests; Eri Fujii, who has devoted her life to the mastery of the sho, a rare and ancient Chinese bamboo wind instrument evoking the cry of the phoenix, and Akihiro Iitomi, a master of Noh theatre and a kotsuzumi drum player whose love of jazz almost matches that of his passion for Japan’s traditional performing arts.
As a documentary, KanZeOn does not seek to explain as much as to enlighten, taking the viewer on a hypnotic sensual journey from the timeless to the modern by way of a mystical parade of images that resonate seamlessly with the sounds.
A Cleaner works for clients she never sees in houses that don't need to be cleaned.
A dark poetic film which deals with the isolation and monotony of domestic work. Hearing and feeling things that may not exist, her thoughts are concealed from her employers and the world.
Claude Cahun’s iconic photograph ‘Don’t Kiss Me/In Training’ was inspiration for a two line poem, a fractured couplet revealed and hidden throughout this piece about intimacy, tactility and the projected theatre of how it feels to be together.
A game involving dressing up, repeated, with love. Training for feeling.
In an insular all-boys private school a student is in search for a connection to the 'real' world and has developed a particular interest in Internet sites with user-generated videos.
