Metempsychosis of Objects
Director: Salvador Maldonado
Year: 2005
An enormous stone rests impossibly in a studio while a sculptor struggles to extract a figure from it. Soon the artist realises that he is not alone and he is drawn into the shadows where he discovers a parallel studio to his own. There he is faced with his own future creation as his memories, fears, illusions and betrayals become real. During the course of events he turns into a spectator of his own creative process, to discover that he has been assimilated by his work. The line between creator and created vanishes.
The Big Bad Wolf
Director: Leo Wright
Year: 2024
After discovering the power of the humble brick, pigs forged ahead into the industrial revolution building houses, factories and shops to wolf-proof their lives. This is the story about a little piggie named Richmond who befriends a not-so-big bad wolf named Billy, much to the outrage of his father. Set in the Black Country, this film is about friendship, inclusivity and not judging a wolf by its cover. Official Selection BFI London Film Festival 2025
Border as interface
Director: Petra Szemán
Year: 2024
A moving image artwork exploring zones of momentary overlap between seemingly opposing elements. The "interface" concept here is fluid and multifaceted; an interface, whether in software, digital screens, or one’s language or body, is a site of entanglement and movement. How the interface manifests and the supposed borders it enacts are recalibrated with every connection that is made. It’s a place of transience with its own set of rules and oscillating perspectives that only make sense within the shifting internal logic of the borderlands. The work explores how these dynamic zones can reshape entrenched perspectives. It questions "where images end and bodies begin, where truth or the real might reside,"[*] and where the boundary between spectator and screen dissolves into “life.” Such interfaces function as special conduits to the virtual, positioning the body as a node of mediation in our techno-political landscape. They also reveal what is created or lost in cross-cultural interactions; miscalculations, strange pairings and redundancy live within the hybridity zones of Border and Interface. *From Deborah Levitt’s ‘The Animatic Apparatus’.
