Akula Dream
Director: George Barber
Year: 2015
In 'Akula Dream' a Russian Akula submarine gets a new captain. However, the new captain is much more into Shamanic drumming, journeying, seances, and mind experiments than he is in nuclear deterrent. Not surprisingly, there is some tension aboard. In form, the film straddles two registers; narrative film making and video art. It uses advanced CGI and has unusual dream sequences as members of the boat travel outside the hull. Official Selection BFI London Film Festival 2015 - Experimenta Strand - World premiere
Upside Down: minutiae
Director: George Barber
Year: 2002
Three people strung upside down on a truck, taken on a short drive, describe what they see and hear. We hear their immediate reactions to being upside down plus a sense of their changes of outlook during their lives.
New Territories (Spectacle is King)
Director: Rhea Storr
Year: 2025
A summer in the life of a filmmaker weaving her way through six carnivals in England. Observing Caribbean cultural life celebrated-and contested- in public space. We witness multi stage soundsystems, Black Lives Matter floats, histories of violence and peace in the geography of local cities. This film is about how to (and how not to) make an image. The film is inspired by Isaac Julien’s TERRITORIES, made with Sankofa Film and Video Collective in 1984. While Julien catalogues the antagonistic relationship between Black community and the police at Notting Hill Carnival, NEW TERRITORIES considers the role of spectatorship turned consumerism in laying the ground in which Black and Caribbean identities are defined.
