Synopsis

This video contrasts the moving and the still image. A sequence was taken from the iconic film 'L'Avventura' made in 1960 by Michelangelo Antonioni with Monica Vitti. The soundtrack is a train trundling at night through the Carpathian mountains towards Bucharest.

Synopsis

Night, columns, fish, rocking-horses, celebrities, a hurdy-gurdy, all are collaged together to make up "Reality".

Synopsis

“for the time being” is a collage of moving images made thirty years apart and re-worked into seventeen sections of tentative autobiography. The soundtrack mixes music and environmental sound with conversation, not all of it intelligible. In the scraps that are, the film-maker and his partner talk together about how we document and re-interpret our lives.

Synopsis

“It’s all about what you do with it afterwards…” one of the voices says. That is make it black and white, wriggle out of the 16:9 frame, and overlap and reverberate the talk and laughter.

Synopsis

Synopsis

"ORWO, is an excellent yet inexpensive 16mm film stock made in Eastern Germany and used by many experimental filmmakers in the past. I scratch off the image surface with a needle then sweep away the emulsion dust beneath the microscope... I used a low powered USB microscope purchased from a LIDL supermarket in West London to capture the image to computer. The deliberately scratched film originates from a 16mm roll used to make image masks for my film 'St.Paul's Cathedral Movie', processed at the London Film-makers' Co-op in 1972." Stuart Pound
