All of a Sudden, Something Popped
Director: Daksha Patel
Year: 2017
The animation was made as a result of an artist’s residency at University of Manchester, and the soundtrack is from voice recordings of interviews by medical humanities researchers at the university. The voices describe sudden and profound changes in people’s lives that alter their perceptions and sense of identity. The animation takes us on a journey through the social, psychological and physiological impact of a life-changing event. It is an intimate portrait of a group of individuals.
In Pericula: At Risk
Director: Daksha Patel
Year: 2022
A performer is filmed inside a Life Science Museum wearing a costume created from objects preserved and classified in the collections. Children recite the names of species on the red list whilst a scientist carefully labels specimens. The animated film explores themes of biodiversity and human/non-human life.
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.”
