  • Tough Enough

    “Tough Enough” is a short experimental film which looks at how being outside of a mainstream gender identity can shut you off from even the simplest touch. As a young queer child, touching people of either sex can be extremely loaded. What can one do to confront this? This filmmaker decides to be tackled repeatedly in order to “shock” their body into feeling.

  • fugitive l(i)ght

    This film explores the morph-like quality of the Serpentine Dance and its intricate play on the visible and the invisible, which extends to the larger context and legacy its originator, the American born Loïe Fuller. “fugitive l(i)ght” is composed of elaborately reworked found footage, originally captured by Thomas Edison and the Lumiere brothers, of various renditions and imitations of Fuller’s Serpentine performances, where glimmers of her presence slip into the film by means of the artist’s absence; both Fuller’s and my momentary suspensions through my use of chance operation. These found films are woven into intricately reworked sequences using several…

She navigates through deserted city streets, across highways of ferocious traffic and even takes the subway to get to her destination. Finally, Robota makes it to the Robot Repair Clinic (though a rather cut-rate one) and it is here that…

  • Sequent of Hanna Avenue, The

    The Sequent of Hanna Ave. is the result of my reworkings of some experimental film practices and my enquiries into the phenomena of movement-illusionism in the film form. By combining found footage, hand processing and hi-end digital technology, I propose to elevate a few mundane gestures to a new perceptible wholeness, and give some small fingers and a c-cassette tape all the attention, grace and drama they somehow deserve. (This film was produced partly during my residency at the Liaison of Independent Filmmakers of Toronto in late 2005.) Selected screenings: Fabulous Festival of Fringe Film, Durham, ON, 2006
