Dude Down Dude Down

Director: George Barber

Year: 2016

The absurdity of war told through the irony of a failed Improvised Explosive Device explaining its travails to its maker. Official Selection BFI London Film Festival 2016 - Experimenta Strand - World premiere

Akula Dream 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
