Laitue
Director: Nicholas Brooks
Year: 2010
Laitue is a hand drawn film, tracing a brief journey from loss to a reunion of an unexpected kind. Two people are separated by time and space but nevertheless coincide in a series of movements which form a choreography of anticipation and unrest.
Transit of the Megaliths
Director: Nicholas Brooks
Year: 2013
In 1934 while on a road trip, British painter Paul Nash placed several small geometric objects onto a car roof to photograph them. Invoking the nomadic inclination of idealised form, Transit of the Megaliths provides a road trip for a set of fragments derived from paintings of the 1920s-40s.
A Season in Secret
Director: Matthew Berka
Year: 2027
A SEASON IN SECRET brings together material both close at hand and far away. It is a meditation on things glimpsed at a distance and the limits of perception. What lies behind the screen is hidden and may only be hinted at through the language of visible images and sounds. The film takes some of its cues from the Japanese aesthetic concept of Yūgen, described in part by the 15th-century aesthetician Zeami Motokiyo: “...to stand upon the shore and gaze after a boat that disappears behind distant islands.”
