The Colour of Chips

Synopsis

A surrealist re-imagining of THE COLOUR OF POMEGRANATES in the north of England.
Filmmaker Francesca Levi combines archival and found footage to create a speculative vision of the seaside town of Blackpool, one which is both unsettling and curiously nostalgic. Commissioned as part of Live Cinema UK's The Unfilmables project, the film features a score composed by Oscar-nominated musician Mica Levi.
Official Selection International Film Festival Rotterdam (IFFR) 2019

Director: Graeme Arnfield

Year: 2023

In the days leading up to Christmas 1973 three astronauts enacted the first labour strike in outer space. Reconstructed from transcripts in claustrophobic close-up via CCTV system, THE CASE AGAINST SPACE is a real time investigation, dramatically collapsing embodied historical reenactment and speculative essayistic research - forming a collective testimony on struggle amongst the stars, of fights past, present and those yet to come.
