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.

Specto Specto

Director: Stuart Pound

Year: 2025

Ampersand, 1978, re-purposes clips from a 1974 film I never completed. In Specto they are re-purposed again. The hot tungsten filament of a Specto film projector is a recurring image, along with re-worked clips of a troupe of actors performing Artaud’s Jet of Blood at locations in the city of Lincoln. You’ll see the cathedral and a dilapidated mill with UNSAFE 74 painted on its wall.

South Kensington South Kensington

Director: Stuart Pound

Year: 2024

A street corner near the London underground station. It’s on the route to the Royal Brompton Hospital, where open heart surgery is carried out.

a sum of parts a sum of parts

Director: Stuart Pound

Year: 2024
